Abstract excerpt
Clinical and autoimmune characteristics of 150 diabetic children of mean age 7.8 years (SD 4.1 years) were recorded at clinical manifestation and during the first 2 years of IDDM in order to investigate whether subjects with high risk HLA-DQB1 genotypes differ from those without these risk markers. When comparing subjects with the DQB1*0302/0201, DQB1*0302/x, DQB1*0201/x, or other DQB1 genotypes (x = no...
