In contrast, the HLA-DQB1*03:02 allele tagged by this SNP differs in AFR (OR = 1.68; the HLA-DQA1*03:01 allele is most strongly associated with T1D risk, with effect OR = 5.45), AMR (not significant in this group), EUR (OR = 5.33), and FIN (OR = 3.91). Here, HLA-DQA1 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
