Article Synopsis
- - T1DM (Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus) is the most common type of diabetes in children, influenced by genetic, environmental, and immune factors, particularly linked to specific HLA gene haplotypes.
- - The study analyzed 165 Italian children with T1DM, comparing their HLA types to a control group of 819 healthy individuals to investigate genetic associations with the disease.
- - Results indicated that the haplotypes DR3DQ2 and DR4DQ8 significantly increase T1DM risk, with the newly identified haplotype DRB1 * 04: 05-DQA1 * 03-DQB1 * 02 also presenting a potential link to the disease onset among the studied population.
