✦ Synopsis

The prevalence rate for autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is about 30 times higher in the type I diabetic (IDDM) families that were ascertained for Genetic Analysis Workshop 5 (GAW5) than in the general population. Two approaches were used to study the clustering of ATD and IDDM in these families: 1) HLA haplotype sharing in sib pairs in which one has IDDM and the other has ATD was analyzed with the genetic interrelationship method. The hypotheses of different alleles (at the same locus or at different loci) were rejected. Thus there must exist at least one common allele that predisposes to both IDDM and ATD. 2) The DR genotype frequencies suggest that in the GAWS families two alleles may be predisposing to ATD; a recessive DR3-associated allele and a dominant DR4associated allele.

Background Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a clinically heterogeneous disease. The presence of associated autoimmune diseases (AAIDs) may represent a distinct form of autoimmune diabetes, with involvement of specific mechanisms. The aim of this study was to find predictors of AAIDs in the Type 1 Diabetes G

The elimination of autoreactive T cells in the thymus involves the process of programmed cell death. Animal model studies, using the lpr and gld strains of mice, have identified FAS receptor (FAS) and FAS ligand (FAS-L) as important components of this mechanism. Whether FAS and FAS-L are also implic
