Abstract excerpt
The HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 genes have recently been recognized to be strong genetic markers of susceptibility to type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. The Arg52 DQA1 and non-Asp57 DQB1 alleles of these genes correlate with the disease predisposition and the Asp57 DQB1 and non-Arg52 DQA1 alleles with disease protection. We investigated 113 patients with type 1 diabetes and 121 healthy subjects from the Russian...
