Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative risk associated with DPA1 and DPB1 alleles and haplotypes in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The frequency of DPA1 and DPB1 alleles and haplotypes in type 1 diabetic patients was compared to the family based control frequency in 1,771 families directly and conditional on HLA (B)-DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 linkage disequilibrium. A relative predispositional analysis (RPA) was...
