DRB1 Subtyping Reveals Divergent Risk and Protection for Type 1 Diabetes in Middle Eastern Populations
2025-12-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly influenced by HLA variation, yet current genetic risk models developed largely in European cohorts perform suboptimally in Middle Eastern populations due to region-specific allele frequencies, DR4 subtype heterogeneity, and distinct haplotype structures. We aimed to characterize HLA diversity in the Qatar Biobank (QBB) cohort and develop a Middle East optimize...
