The objective of this study was to identify additional diabetes susceptibility markers in the MHC that could be responsible for the differential diabetogenicity of different HLA-DR3 CEHs. High-resolution SNP genotyping of the MHC was carried out in 15 type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients and 39 non-diabetic controls, homozygous for DR3-DQ2 and with one copy of the A(*)30-B(*)18-MICA(*)4-F1C30-DRB1(*)0301-DQB1(*)0201-DPB1(*)0202 HLA haplotype. Significantly associated SNPs were replicated in an indepen ...[more]
