    Genetic markers like HLA-DR3/DR4 heterozygotes and specific C4 and factor B alleles are linked to increased Type 1 diabetes risk. These findings identify potential susceptibility alleles for the autoimmune disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Endocrinology
    • Human Genetics

    Background:

    • Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by insulin deficiency.
    • Genetic factors play a significant role in T1D susceptibility.
    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes are strongly associated with T1D.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association of HLA, C4, and factor B (Bf) polymorphisms with Type 1 diabetes.
    • To identify specific genetic markers that confer susceptibility to T1D.

    Main Methods:

    • Genotyping of HLA-A, B, and DR antigens.
    • Analysis of C4 and factor B (Bf) polymorphism in T1D patients and control subjects.
    • Comparison of gene frequencies and phenotype distributions between patient and control groups.

    Main Results:

    • A significant excess of DR3/DR4 heterozygotes was observed in T1D patients (27% vs. 17% expected).
    • The factor B allele BfF1 was more frequent in T1D patients (13% vs. 1%).
    • Rare C4 B allele (C4 B2.9) and C4 A locus deficiency (C4 AQ0,0) were significantly higher in T1D patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific HLA, C4, and Bf alleles and their combinations (supratypes) are associated with T1D susceptibility.
    • Three high-risk supratypes were identified as potential markers for T1D susceptibility alleles.
