Abstract
HLA‐A, B and C antigens were determined from 63 cases of juvenile‐onset, insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in northern Finland. There was a very strong association between IDDM and HLA‐B8 and B15 antigens in this area where the incidence of IDDM is also high. Relative risks for B8 and B15 were 4.8 and 3.8, respectively. In a small group of subjects typed for HLA‐D antigens Dw3 and Dw4 appeared to be stronger risk factors than associated B antigens, whereas Dw2 was almost totally absent in the patients.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
