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

Genetic Control of Autoimmune Diabetes in the Nod Mouse

TL;DR: While only partial protection from disease is provided by resistance alleles at single non-MHC Idd loci, epistatic interaction between two of the loci produced nearly complete protection from diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polygenic control of autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice

TL;DR: Evidence of linkage of ten distinct loci to diabetes or the pre–diabetic lesion, insulitis, indicative of a polygenic mode of inheritance is obtained and a new application of multiple polychotomous regression methods is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beta 2-microglobulin-deficient NOD mice do not develop insulitis or diabetes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NOD-B2mnull mice, which lack both class I expression and CD8+ T-cells in the periphery, not only failed to develop diabetes but were completely devoid of insulitis.
