Abstract excerpt
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) HLA class II DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 data from four populations (Norwegian, Sardinian, Mexican American, and Taiwanese) have been analyzed to detect the amino acids involved in the disease process. The combination of sites DRB1#67 and 86; DQA1#47; and DQB1#9, 26,...
