Abstract excerpt
An extreme genetic risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) was reported for DR3/4-DQ8 siblings sharing both extended human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes identical-by-descent (IBD) with their diabetic proband. We attempted to replicate this finding in our prospective Dutch T1D cohort and in families from the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC). Only 2 of the 14 Dutch siblings, sharing both DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8...
