A human type 1 diabetes susceptibility locus maps to chromosome 21q22.3. Diabetes 2008 Oct;57(10):2858-61. Epub 2008 Jul 22.Abstract
The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) has assembled and genotyped a large collection of multiplex families for the purpose of mapping genomic regions linked to type 1 diabetes. In the current study, we tested for evidence of loci associated with type 1 diabetes utilizing genome-wide linkage scan data and family-based association methods.
