✦ Synopsis

In this study HLA-DQA1 and TNF genes in addition to HLA-DQB1 gene were investigated at DNA level for elucidation of the genetic backgrounds of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in Japanese subjects. DNA, amplified by polymerase chain reaction, was subjected to allele specific oligonucleotide dot blot analysis, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis or DNA sequencing. Polymorphism of the TNF gene to NcoI did not correlate with Type 1 diabetes in Japanese patients. DQw1.2 had a protective effect against the disease, the DQA1*1 allele was significantly decreased and DQA1*3 allele was significantly increased. Seventeen out of twenty-two Type 1 diabetic patients (77%) were homozygous for DQA1*3 and five out of twenty-two (23%) heterozygous. The DQA1*3 gene of Type 1 diabetic patients had a normal nucleotide sequence. Furthermore, DQA1*3 was found unexpectedly in two patients without DR4 or DR9. These data indicate that DQA1 gene confers susceptibility and resistance to Type 1 diabetes in Japanese subjects.

Epidemiologic data suggest that having a parent with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus increases the risk for Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes in siblings of a Type 1 diabetes proband. This increase in risk is consistent with a shared genetic susceptibility between Type 1 diabetes

Inherited susceptibility to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is partly determined by HLA genes. It has been suggested that protection from disease may be conferred by HLA-DQB1 genes which encode molecules with aspartate at position 57. We investigated the contributions of HLA-DRB1, DQA1

A prospective study of lymphocyte subsets has been carried out for 18 months in 58 healthy first-degree relatives of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) probands. Subjects selected for presence or absence of islet cell antibodies included 10 with complement-fixing islet cell antibodies, 10 with conventional
