Variations in the incidence rate of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus might relate to ethnic-specific genetic backgrounds. HLA-DQB 1 alleles were typed in 75 French diabetic children and 85 matched control children. Enzymatically-amplified DQB 1 exon 2 was hybridized with oligoprobes specific for the six most common alleles. Alleles coding for an Asp residue at position 57 in the DQ beta chain are strongly negatively associated with Type 1 diabetes in the French population. Nevertheless, one of the diabetic children was an Asp 57 homozygote (DQB 1.2/3.1). Among alleles coding for a residue other than Asp at position 57, alleles 3.2 and 2 (Ala 57) are positively associated with diabetes but not allele 1.1 (Val 57) which is less frequent in diabetic children than in control children. Heterozygosity for 2/3.2 alleles is the genotype most strongly associated with diabetes (Odds ratio = 52.9). Large comparative population studies will be necessary to determine whether the frequency of DQB 1 alleles positively associated with Type 1 diabetes (2 and 3.2) in a given ethnicity is related to its incidence rate in the same population.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

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.
