Abstract excerpt
Certain DQ alpha/beta dimeric molecules have been shown to play a major role in determining susceptibility or resistance to IDDM. Whether or not predisposition associated with DR4 haplotypes is exclusively due to linkage to DQB1*0302 and DQA1*0301 alleles is still a controversial issue. A modifying effect of certain DRB1*04 subtypes on the susceptibility encoded by DQ alleles is possible, since not all...
