Abstract

Autoimmunity causing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) begins in early childhood due to interactions between genes and unknown environmental factors that may be identified through follow-up of a large cohort of genetically susceptible children. Such a cohort has been established using a simple and rapid cord blood screening for HLA alleles. The DRB1 and DQB1 second exon sequences were co-amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and hybridized with single and pooled sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. Four individual probes were used to detect the susceptibility alleles DRB1*03, DRB1*04, and DQB1*0302 as well as the usually protective DRB1*15/16 (DR2) alleles. In addition, pooled probes allow the distinction of DR3/3 from the DR3/x genotype (where x is neither DR2, 3, nor 4) and DR4/4 from DR4/x. Among 5000 newborns from the general Denver population, we have found the high-risk genotype (DRB1*03/ DRB1*04, DQB1*0302) to be present in 2.4% of non-Hispanic whites, 2.8% of Hispanics, and 1.6% of African Americans. The moderate-risk genotypes (DRB1*04, DQB1*0302/DRB1*04, DQB1*0302, DRB1*04, DQB1*0302/x, or DRB1*03/DRB1*03) are present in 17% of American non-Hispanic whites, 24% of Hispanics and in 10% of African Americans. These results demonstrate the feasibility of a large-scale newborn screening for genes associated with IDDM. The ultimate role for such a screening in future routine prediction and prevention of IDDM will depend on the availability of an effective and acceptable form of clinical intervention.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
