Abstract excerpt
In the present study we characterized the frequencies of two polymorphisms within the MHC-linked heat shock protein (HSP) 70 genes in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (n = 114) and healthy control individuals (n = 110). Significant differences in genotype and allelic frequencies were observed for both polymorphisms between randomly selected patients and controls. However, for the HSP70-2...
