Abstract excerpt
IDDM2-encoded predisposition to type 1 diabetes has recently been mapped to the minisatellite or variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) locus upstream of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor II genes on human chromosome 11p15.5. In a UK case-control study (n = 228 sporadic diabetics; n = 441 healthy controls), we show here that the genotype homozygous for VNTR class I alleles is predisposing to disease (RR...
