Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to compare the genetic susceptibility linked to the HLA Class II region genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in isolated insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (1a-IDDM) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus associated with another autoimmune endocrinopathy (1b-IDDM). HLA genes DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 were studied at the genomic level, as well as genes TAP1 and TAP2. One hundred and...
