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