Abstract

The association between HLA genotypes and type 1 diabetes is well known. We set out to examine incidence rates and ratios of type 1 diabetes depending on the risk afflicted by HLA genotype. Children with the high-risk genotype have a 45-fold disease risk compared to peers with neutral or protective genotypes.
