HLA-A, B and HLA-DR phenotypes in Mainland Chinese patients with diabetes mellitus.
HLA-A, B and DR antigens were studied in Mainland Chinese diabetes mellitus patients and controls (31 Type I DM, 50 Type II DM, 105 controls). HLA-DR3 and HLA-A9 were increased in Type I diabetics only. An increase in HLA-DR4 was noted in Type I diabetics, but the increase was not statistically significant in this small series.
