This study has investigated the genetic basis of the heterogeneous autoimmune response to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in 179 Australian patients with IDDM. Antibodies to GAD have been correlated with HLA-DQB1 alleles and genotypes, as determined by sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridiz...
