    Confirmation of novel type 1 diabetes risk loci in families

    Over 50 regions of the genome have been associated with type 1 diabetes risk, mainly using large case/control collections. In a recent genome-wide association (GWA) study, 18 novel susceptibility loci were ide...

    Testing the possible negative association of type 1 diabetes and atopic disease by analysis of the interleukin 4 receptor gene

    Variations in the interleukin 4 receptor A (IL4RA) gene have been reported to be associated with atopy, asthma, and allergy, which may occur less frequently in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Since atopy ...
