Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified associations between type 1 diabetes and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at chromosome 12q13, surrounding the gene ERBB3. Our objective was to fine map this region to further localize causative variants. Re-sequencing identified more than 100 putative SNPs in an 80-kb region at 12q13. By genotyping 42 SNPs, spanning ∼214 kb, in 382 affected sibling pair type...
