Pathway-based analysis of genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer in situ: HLA-DPB1 affects risk in Swedish women
We have conducted a pathway-based analysis of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in order to identify genetic susceptibility factors for cervical cancer in situ. Genotypes derived from Affymetr...

Evidence for association of the TCF7 locus with type I diabetes
The Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) has collected thousands of multiplex and simplex families with type I diabetes (T1D) with the goal of identifying genes involved in T1D susceptibility. These fam...

Association analysis of SNPs in the IL4R locus with type I diabetes
The Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) has collected thousands of multiplex and simplex families with type I diabetes (T1D) with the goal of identifying genes involved in T1D susceptibility. These fam...

MHC loci affecting cervical cancer risk: distinguishing the effects of HLA-DQB1 and non-HLA genes TNF, LTA, TAP1 and TAP2
Cervical cancer has been associated with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes/alleles and with polymorphisms at the nearby non-HLA loci TNF, LTA, TAP1 and TAP2. Distinguishing effects of individual l...

Differential effects of DRB1*0301 and DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 on the activation and progression of islet cell autoimmunity
Autoimmune diabetes shows extreme variation in age of onset and clinical presentation, although most studies have been done in children with the most severe subtype. Disease risk is strongly associated with HL...

Multifactor dimensionality reduction reveals gene–gene interactions associated with multiple sclerosis susceptibility in African Americans
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common disease of the central nervous system characterized by inflammation, myelin loss, gliosis, varying degrees of axonal pathology, and progressive neurological dysfunction. Mul...

Analysis of IL4R haplotypes in predisposition to multiple sclerosis
We have investigated the association of multiple sclerosis (MS) with polymorphisms in the IL4R gene in 332 single-case MS families. IL4R encodes a subunit of the interleukin-4 receptor, a molecule important for T...

Amplification of Y Chromosome-Specific Sequences in Biological Evidence
Determination of the sex of the donor of a biological evidence sample may be valuable in any investigation in which the identity of the donor is in question. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used t...

Analysis of HLA-DP Allelic Sequence Polymorphism Using the In Vitro Enzymatic Amplification of DPα and DPβ Loci
Accurate ty** of the HLA-DP antigens can provide useful information when considering allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. As with the HLA-DR and DQ antigens, the DP molecules may also play a role in susce...

HLA Ty** on Single Human Hairs: DNA Probes to Enzymatically Amplified Genes
A single human hair does not contain enough DNA to allow detection of DNA polymorphisms routinely (1). However, a new technique (2) is available that can greatly amplify, in-vitro, short regions of DNA and can de...
