    Prevalence of obesity was related to HLA-DQ in 2–4-year-old children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes

    Body size is postulated to modulate type 1 diabetes as either a trigger of islet autoimmunity or an accelerator to clinical onset after seroconversion. As overweight and obesity continue to rise among children...

    Temporal trends of HLA genotype frequencies of type 1 diabetes patients in Sweden from 1986 to 2005 suggest altered risk

    The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes in 1–18-year-old patients with type 1 diabetes newly diagnosed in 1986–1987 (n = 430), 1996–2000 (n = 342) and in 2003...

    Relationship between increased relative birthweight and infections during pregnancy in children with a high-risk diabetes HLA genotype

    Children with high-risk type 1 diabetes HLA genotype have increased risk of high relative birthweight (HrBW), while cord blood islet autoantibodies decrease the risk. As gestational infections may affect offsp...

    Diabetes-associated HLA genotypes affect birthweight in the general population

    The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that HLA genotypes conferring risk of diabetes, cord blood autoantibodies, or both are associated with increased birthweight.
