Based on CD4+ T cells and monocytes from a multi-ethnic cohort of 461 healthy individuals, susceptibility alleles for MS, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and PD were found to be overrepresented in CD4+ T cells, while disease- and trait-associated cis-eQTLs associated with AD and PD were primarily overrepresented in monocytes (87). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
