Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of IDDM risk-associated HLA-DQ beta alleles in New Zealanders with IDDM and nondiabetic control subjects, and to examine these as susceptibility markers in relation to IDDM incidence. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: HLA-DQ beta typing was conducted in 55 juvenil...
