β¦ Synopsis
The problem of the HLA association of Type t (insulin-dependent) diabetes was re-examined by testing Class II antigenic specificities detectable by radioimmunoassay. Established (DRw53, DQwl, DQw2, DQw3) as well as newly described (DC5, DCalpha3) specificities were typed. The data obtained suggest that the association with DR3 and DR4 is secondary to that with DQ specificities in linkage disequilibrium with DR3 and DR4.

HLA-DR and MT1, MT2, MT3 genotypes have been investigated in 123 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic subjects and their families. Ninety-eight percent of probands possessed either DR3 (relative risk = 5.0), or DR4 (relative risk = 6.8) or both antigens (relative risk = 14.3), emphasizing the strong
