Am J Hum Genet 1995, 57:911-919. Exploration of previously reported linked regions to IDDM, with suggestive evidence at some chromosomes (15q26 and 2q31), but not others (11q13). Evidence for a new susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q27 near D6S446 was found (p=0.0007).

Nat Genetics 1995, 10:240-242. This paper describes evidence for linkage of IDDM susceptibility to GCK through affected sib-pair analysis and TDT. If confirmed, this would be the first demonstration of a gene implicated in both IDDM and NIDDM.

Nat Genet 1995, 9:284-292. Evidence of heterogeneity of risks of IDDM associated with different alleles with the small size class of the 5′VNTR and data that suggest exclusion of other variants in the INS region in susceptibility to disease. Experimental results that support the hypothesis that the 5′VNTR has an effect on regulation of INS. The authors propose that the differences between results in [32•] and [33•] are due to the heterogeneity of the small-size class alleles.
