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 Article

Both the Lyt-2+ and L3T4+ T cell subsets are required for the transfer of diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the induction of diabetes in the adoptive transfer system is dependent on both the L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ subsets of T cells, and that neither subset can be replaced with cells obtained from young, nondiabetic donors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genetic fine mapping and genotype-phenotype associations implicate polymorphism in the IL2RA region in type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: The type 1 diabetes (T1D) association in the interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) gene region is localized to two independent groups of SNPs, spanning overlapping regions of 14 and 40 kb, encompassing IL2RA intron 1 and the 5′ regions of IL2 RA and RBM17.
