Abstract excerpt
Trans-racial analysis of disease associations has improved mapping of MHC-linked susceptibility to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. In this study the contributions of the MHC class II DQA1 and DQB1 genes were investigated. Sequence-specific oligonucleotide gene probing in Type 1 diabetic and control subjects of North Indian origin supported the DQw1.18 allele of the DQB1 gene as a determinant of...
