Abstract excerpt
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an important autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The islet cell specific, 65 kDa form of GAD (GAD65) is encoded by a gene on chromosome 10p. Recently, a putative IDDM susceptibility gene has been localized to the same general region based on allele sharing for the anonymous marker D10S193. To determine whether variation in the GAD65 gene plays a role in...
