title: The immunogenetics of insulin-dependent (Type I) diabetes.
abstract: Insulin-dependent diabetes develops when a genetically predisposed individual is exposed to an as-yet-unknown environmental insult. A major part of genetic susceptibility to the disorder is encoded close to or within the HLA-DQ region, but non-HLA-linked genes are also implicated.
