Relative predispositional effects of HLA class II DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes and genotypes on type 1 diabetes: a meta-analysis.

Glenys Thomson, +57 more
- 01 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: The results show that meta-analyses and use of the P/C ratio and rankings thereof can be valuable in determining T1D risk factors at the haplotype and amino acid residue levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

HLA Class II Susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis Among Ashkenazi and Non-Ashkenazi Jews

TL;DR: This study is the first to show a significant association between HLA class II alleles and MS in the Jewish population, and underscores differences in HLA profiles between Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi patients, and between the different clinical courses of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new method for reconstitution of highly fusogenic Sendai virus envelopes

TL;DR: The vesicles obtained in the present work resemble, in their composition, size and features, envelopes of intact Sendai virus particles, and the enclosure of low and high molecular weight material within the reconstituted viral envelopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotype-phenotype associations in non-classical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

TL;DR: Compound heterozygotes for one mild and one severe mutation have a higher peak 17-OHP associated with pubarche and gonadarche at an earlier age and more frequent precocious puberty, suggesting the severity of the enzymatic defect might determine the timing and pattern of puberty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type 1 diabetes in Jewish Ethiopian immigrants in Israel: HLA class II immunogenetics and contribution of new environment

TL;DR: It is concluded that ongoing exposure of genetically predisposed immigrants from Ethiopia to diabetogenic environmental factors eventually leads to a high incidence of overt diabetes in this ethnic group.
