Association of IL4R haplotypes with type 1 diabetes

Daniel B Mirel et al. Diabetes. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

We have investigated, in 282 multiplex Caucasian families (the Human Biological Data Interchange Repository), the association of type 1 diabetes with polymorphisms in the IL4R gene. IL4R encodes a subunit of the interleukin-4 receptor, a molecule critical to T-helper cell development. By genotyping eight different IL4R single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and identifying haplotypes (complex alleles) in the multiplex type 1 diabetic families who were stratified for HLA genotype, we have observed significant evidence of linkage and association of the IL4R gene to type 1 diabetes. In particular, we have identified a specific haplotype that appears to be protective and observed that this protective effect is strongest among individuals not carrying the HLA DR3/DR4 genotype (which confers the strongest genetic risk for type 1 diabetes). These findings suggest an important role for the IL4R gene in immune-related disease susceptibility and illustrate the value of using multi-SNP haplotype information in association studies.
