Relationships with retroviruses have recently been found in different human pathologies as autoimmune diseases which would be associated with the presence and eventually the expression of retroviral sequences. Detection of the presence of HTLV-1 and HIV-1 homologous sequences and their expression was realised on lymphocytes of 14 patients with polyendrocrinopathies (Basedow-Graves' disease and insulin-dependent diabetes) and four relatives of one index case. No antibodies to HTLV-1 and HIV-1 could be detected by Western blot and Elisa tests. HTLV-1 related sequences were revealed by Southern blot (SB) in 5 out of 18 subjects' DNA. Analyses of all DNA were performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Seven DNA, including the 5 previously positive in SB, and two relatives (father and grandfather), negative in SB, contained HTLV-1-gag related sequences, but neither pol nor pX regions. Concerning HIV-1, all 18 DNA examined were negative by both methods. DNA of ten clinically healthy donors were found to be negative with the same tests.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
