1 HLA DQA1 and DQB1 alleles were defined by polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridization as well as by single strand conformational polymorphism analysis. Oligonucleotides major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 An arginine at position 52 on either DQA1 allele was significantly more frequent in patients with IDDM (94%), GD (80%), and AD (89%) compared with controls (66%). Arginine major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 In conclusion, endocrine autoimmunity has a common immunogenetic background; susceptibility is conferred by DQA1*0501 as well as an arginine at position 52 of DQA1 alleles, and protection against IDDM and GD is conferred by DQB1*0602. Arginine major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1 Homo sapiens
