Abstract excerpt
The allelic constitution at HLA class II DRB1, DQB1, DQA1, and DPB1 loci of IDDM patients from Taiwan was compared with that of ethnically matched nondiabetic individuals by PCR-based DNA typing. Of the three haplotypes found to be positively associated with IDDM in Taiwan, two (DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 and DR4-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302) appear to be identical to the susceptible haplotypes in Caucasian and black...
