X Abstract

Over the last few years several studies of linkage between non-HLA loci and type 1 diabetes mellitus have mapped several putative susceptibility genes on chromosome 6q; in fact, positive evidence of linkage and/or association of IDDM5 (6q25), IDDM8 (6q27) and IDDM15 (6q21) with type 1 diabetes has been reported. We have studied these loci in diabetic families of Basque origin, a genetically homogeneous population, to avoid artifactual association results due to admixture within the sample analysed. Statistical analyses of linkage were performed using a transmission disequilibrium test (TDT). We could not confirm linkage for IDDM5, IDDM8 and IDDM15 in our population, possibly due to population-specific differences in genetic susceptibility and/or environmental triggering factors to type 1 diabetes.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
