title: Genetics of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The last decade has seen major advances in our understanding of the genetics of single gene disorders. Attention is now increasingly turning to elucidation of the genetics of more complex disease which are likely to be influenced by several genes and environmental factors. This article concentrates on the genetics of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes.
