Although the HLA class II genes are clearly associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in all ethnic groups, considerable variation in the associated haplotypes is observed among the ethnic groups. In Japanese, DRB1*0405-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0401, DRB1*0901-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0303 and DRB1*0802-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302 are the major susceptibility haplotypes to IDDM, while DRB1*1501-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 and...
