Coxsackie B virus assays in IDDM families: the GAW5 data on antibody prevalence
Genetic Epidemiology
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
There is evidence that infection by Coxsackie viruses can serve as an environmental "trigger" for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). This background information is summarized briefly, and the data in the IDDM component of Genetic Analysis Workshop 5 (GAW5) concerning serum antibodies to Coxsackie B viruses are described.
