Abstract excerpt
We analyzed 11 markers in the IDDM1 region in 120 IDDM patients and 83 healthy control subjects who were fully matched for the highest risk HLA-DQA1*0301-DQB1 *0302/DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 genotype. Our study provides strong evidence that two regions in the major histocompatibility complex contribute to IDDM susceptibility or protection. First, despite selection for highest IDDM-associated risk DQ genotypes, this...
