Genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in childhood - estimation of HLA class II associated disease risk and class II effect in various phases of islet autoimmunity

Objective The HLA‐DR/DQ region remains the major determinant of susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) despite the more than 50 risk affecting loci outside human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region that have been identified. We aimed at developing a simple risk estimation based on HLA class II genotypin...
