Abstract

Susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) is determined by complex interactions between several genetic loci and environmental factors. Alleles at the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus explain up to 50% of the familial clustering of T1D, and the remainder is contributed to by multiple loci, of which only four were known until recently. First-stage results of genome-wide association (GWA) studies performed with high-density genotyping arrays have already produced four novel loci and the promise that, with the completion of the second stage of the GWA studies, most of the genetic basis of T1D will be known. We will review what is known to date about the mechanisms of genetic susceptibility to T1D, with special emphasis on possible diagnostic and therapeutic applications of these recent genetic findings.
