Abstract excerpt
Although one of the major genes which cause type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is located in the class II HLA region in humans, its precise location is still unknown. In order to investigate whether TAP (Transporter associated with Antigen Processing) and LMP (Low Molecular Weight Polypeptide) genes, which are located in the class II HLA region, are HLA-linked diabetogenic genes, the association of...
