Only LTalpha +249G allele and +249G/+249G genotype frequencies were higher among patients, and no LD was found between TNFalpha/LTalpha alleles and susceptible/protective DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes TNFalpha/LTalpha T1DM susceptible (-308G/+249G) and protective (-308G/+249A) haplotypes were identified. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
