Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by progressive destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. This multifactorial disease has a strong genetic component associated with the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and non-HLA regions. In this study, we compared frequencies of HLA-DRB1 alleles and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated the genes coding for: toll-like...
