In previous studies, the allele groups of this gene, including HLA-DQB1*02 [17,18,19,20], HLA-DQB1*05 [19], HLA-DQB1*06 [19,20,21], HLA-DRB1*03 [19,20,21,22,23], HLA-DRB1*04 [19,20,21,22,24], HLA-DRB1*07 [21], HLA-DRB1*08 [20,21], HLA-DRB1*09 [20], HLA-DRB1*12 [19,20,21], and HLA-DRB1*13 [19], were reported to be associated with LADA. The gene discussed is HLA-DQB1; the disease is latent autoimmune diabetes in adults.
