As we have discussed previously (Horn et al. 1988a; Erlich et al. 1989b; Horn et al. 1988b), there are no unique class II sequences associated with IDDM, which suggests that "normal" class II alleles confer susceptibility. Given the estimates of concordance--under 50% of monozygotic twins and approximately 15% (Tattersol, Pyle 1972 and Thomson 1988) for HLA-identical sibs--, it is not surprising that some...
