CONTEXT Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ haplotypes have the strongest genetic association with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) risk. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to analyze whether HLA DQ alleles influence the development of antiislet autoantibodies, the progression to T1DM among autoantibody-positive relatives, or both. DESIGN The Diabetes Prevention Trial-1 screened more than 90,000 n...

BACKGROUND To develop screening strategies for identification of individuals at increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes in three populations with variable disease incidence rates and distinct ethnic origin. METHODS A stepwise HLA DQB1-DQA1-DRB1-based screening approach was evaluated. Patients with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes were recruited from Finland (n = 1739), Hungary (n = 149), an...

Abstract Introduction Fragmented sleep occurs when there are repetitive, short interruptions of sleep, resulting in less than six hours per day. Overall, however, the United States, fragmentation is reported by 30% employed adults. Sleep may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, and orexin reduction appears effective reducing amyloid plaque formation mice with transgenic disease. Orexin neu...

background: hla genes are highly polymorphic and certain alleles are frequent only in specific populations. therefore, hla is a unique tool for studying the genetic relationship between different populations. iranians are ethnically diverse people and one of the major ethnic groups in iran is lur population inhabiting along the central and southern parts of zagros chain mountain. objectives: ge...

5-0290 Session: QCD Hard Interactions Event shapes in deep inelastic ep → eX scattering at HERA Abstract Means and differential distributions of event-shape variables have been studied in neutral current deep inelastic scattering using an integrated luminosity of 82.2pb −1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The kinematic range used was 80 < Q 2 < 20480 GeV 2 and 0.0024 < x < 0.6, where Q...
