Abstract excerpt
HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genes were analyzed in 98 Chinese IDDM patients and 205 control subjects from Taiwan. The DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 haplotype conferred strong susceptibility (RR = 7.7, pc < 10(-5)). DRB1*0405 also conferred susceptibility (RR = 3.1, Pc < 0.0005) whereas DRB1*0403 (RR = 0.7) and DRB1*0406 (RR = 0.2) conferred protection. Indeed, the relative risk for the DRB1*0405-DQB1*0302 haplotype (RR = 33.7, Pc <...
