Abstract excerpt
The highest genetic type 1 diabetes risk is conferred by HLA class II haplotypes defined by alleles at the HLA-DR and -DQ loci. The combination of HLA-DQA1*03:01 and DQB1*03:02 alleles (summarized as 'HLA-DQ8') is reported to be among the two most prevalent HLA class II haplotypes in Caucasian type 1 diabetes patients. This classification is based on conventional genotyping of exon 2 of the DQ gene locus and...
