Tiivistelmä
Conclusions There exists a significant association between the C-allele of -2221 MspI in the insulin gene and type 1 diabetes. The CTLA-4 G-allele is also positively correlated with type 1 diabetes. According to the regression model the investigated gene polymorphisms are independent risk factors for development of type 1 diabetes in the Estonian population. We propose that -2221 MspI is a good marker for evaluation of risk of insulin gene haplotype in type 1 diabetes patients.
