| Research Abstract |
Susceptibility genes for type 1 diabetes were studied by using syntenic homology between mouse and human. Contribution of HLA to type 1 diabetes was shown to be different among three subtypes of type 1 diabetes : qualitative difference between fulminant and other subtypes, and quantitative difference between slowly progressive and acute-onset. Functional polymorphisms of MafA, an insulin transactivator, were associated with reduced expression of insulin in the thymus and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes both in mice and humans through the reduced expression of insulin in the thymus.
