Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

Paul Burton, +195 more
- 07 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

Association of the T-cell regulatory gene CTLA4 with susceptibility to autoimmune disease

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify polymorphisms of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 gene (CTLA4) as candidates for primary determinants of risk of the common autoimmune disorders Graves' disease, autoimmune hypothyroidism and type 1 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

HLA-DQ beta gene contributes to susceptibility and resistance to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: Analysis of DNA sequences from diabetics indicates that alleles ofHLA-DQβ determine both disease susceptibility and resistance, and that the structure of the DQ molecule, in particular residue 57 of the β-chain, specifies the autoimmune response against the insulin-producing islet cells.
