Abstract excerpt
Among DQ6 molecules, DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 is negatively associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), but DQA1*0102-DQB1*0604 shows a neutral to positive association in Swedish children with IDDM. The aim of this study was to identify critical DQB1 residues that may account for the d...
