A

both parents have it

26
Q

What 4 genes are implicated in Type 1 DM?

A

HLA ***major

AIRE (necessary for expression of self proteins)

CTLA-4 (nml shut down T cell development)

27
Q

Are risk additive in Type 1 or Type 2 DM?

A

Type 2 DM

28
Q

What HLA haplotype is protective in DM?

A

DR2

DQ6

29
Q

What is the high risk HLA class 2 allele?
