Abstract excerpt
Variations in the incidence rate of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus might relate to ethnic-specific genetic backgrounds. HLA-DQB 1 alleles were typed in 75 French diabetic children and 85 matched control children. Enzymatically-amplified DQB 1 exon 2 was hybridized with oligoprobes specific for the six most common alleles. Alleles coding for an Asp residue at position 57 in the DQ beta chain are...
