In nine samples no allelic specific bias for the common IFIH1 T1D associated haplotype was observed within the PBMC pre mRNA of the poly A selected samples (p = 0.12) or the fragmented cDNAs (p = 0.60) using the two SNP assays for rs1990760 and rs3747517 (Figure S3). This evidence concerns the gene IFIH1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
