HLA-DRB1 AND –DQB1 ALLELES, HAPLOTYPES AND GENOTYPES IN EMIRATI PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES UNDERSCORES THE BENEFITS OF EVALUATING UNDERSTUDIED POPULATIONS
HLA-DRB1 AND –DQB1 ALLELES, HAPLOTYPES AND GENOTYPES IN EMIRATI PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES UNDERSCORES THE BENEFITS OF EVALUATING UNDERSTUDIED POPULATIONS
HLA class II (DR and DQ) alleles and antigens have historically shown strong
genetic predisposition to type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study evaluated the association of
DRB1 and DQB1 alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes with T1D in United Arab Emirates
