Abstract excerpt
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II DRB1 and DQB1 represent the major type I diabetes (T1D) genetic susceptibility loci; however, other genes in the HLA region are also involved in T1D risk. We analyzed 1411 pedigrees (2865 affected individuals) from the type I diabetes genetics consortium genotyped for HLA classical loci and for 12 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the class III region previously...
