The observations that specific 3′UTR HLA-G genotypes can predict the probability of being Abneg FDRs, and that Abneg FDRs are more similar to subjects with autoimmunity, prompted us to perform an additional HLA-G genetic analysis to explore if HLA-G genetic variations represent risk factors for developing T1D. The gene discussed is HLA-G; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
