Journal ArticleDOI

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

Remapping the insulin gene/IDDM2 locus in type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: Mapping results using robust regression methods show how precisely a variant for a common disease can be mapped, even within a region of strong LD, and specifically that IDDM2 maps to one or more of three common variants in a approximately 2-kb region of chromosome 11p15.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage disequilibrium mapping of a type 1 diabetes susceptibility gene (IDDM7) to chromosome 2q31-q33.

TL;DR: The utility of polymorphic microsatellites for linkage disequilibrium mapping of genes for complex diseases is demonstrated, with evidence localizes a new diabetes susceptibility gene, IDDM7, to within two centiMorgans of D2S152.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biobank of the Norwegian mother and child cohort Study: A resource for the next 100 years

TL;DR: With the unique combination of biological specimens and questionnaire data, the MoBa Study will constitute a resource for many future investigations of the separate and combined effects of genetic, environmental factors on pregnancy outcome and on human morbidity, mortality and health in general.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particular HLA-DQ molecules play a dominant role in determining susceptibility or resistance to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Genes in the HLA complex are by far the most important in determining genetic predisposition or resistance to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, and evidence is presented that theHLA genes mainly involved are those encoding some particular HLA-DQ molecules.
