Common immunogenetic profile in children with multiple autoimmune diseases: the signature of HLA-DQ pleiotropic genes.

abstract：:Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8), a product of the SLC30A8 gene, is a target-antigen in autoimmune diabetes. Associations between ZnT8 antibody (ZnT8A), phenotype and the genetic variant rs13266634 in the SLC30A8 gene have primarily been studied in patients with young-onset diabetes. We explored such associations in adult-on...
