Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Fulminant type 1 diabetes, which is characterised by a markedly acute onset of diabetes and an absence of islet-related autoantibodies, accounts for 20% of type 1 diabetes in Japan. We aimed to clarify the contribution of the HLA subtype to fulminant type 1 diabetes in Japanese. METHODS We determined the serological subtypes of HLA-A, -DR and -DQ in 115 patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes, 98 patients with typical type 1A diabetes and 190 normal control subjects. RESULTS The frequency of HLA-DR4, but not DR9, was significantly higher in fulminant type 1 diabetes, while those of HLA-DR1, DR2, DR5 and DR8 were significantly lower than those in controls. In contrast, DR9 but not DR4 was more frequent and DR2 was extremely rare in typical type 1A diabetes. Haplotype analysis revealed that DR4-DQ4 was significantly more frequent, and both DR2-DQ1 and DR8-DQ1 were less frequent in fulminant diabetes. In type 1A diabetes, DR2-DQ1 was extremely rare while DR9-DQ3 was significantly more frequent. In the combination analysis, the homozygotes of DR4-DQ4 in fulminant type 1 diabetes and DR9-DQ3 in typical type 1A diabetes indicated high odds ratios (13.3 and 13.3, respectively). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our results suggest that class II HLA contributes to the development of fulminant type 1 diabetes. Susceptibility and resistance of the HLA subtype to type 1 diabetes are distinct between fulminant and typical autoimmune type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important immunomodulator and is believed to be involved in the development or progression of type 1 diabetes. In the following study, we evaluated TNF-alpha promoter polymorphisms at positions -863 and -1031 and their association with type 1 diabetes in a group of 210 diabetic patients from Lebanon. Our results show that in our population, the C allele is predominant at position -863, whereas the A allele is very rare (2%). At position -1031, however, the C and T allele distribution was similar in both the patient (17.8% vs 82.2%, respectively) and the control (21.4% vs 79.6%) groups. No association of TNF-alpha genotype at position 1031 with type 1 diabetes was found as demonstrated by the family-based association test and the transmission disequilibrium test. However, when patient genotypes were compared, the recessive CC genotype was only found in type 1 diabetic males but not in type 1 diabetic females. This observation, however, requires further investigation in a larger sample before conclusive association to gender is suggested. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that no association between TNF-alpha polymorphism and type 1 diabetes seems to exist in our population.

Abstract
At least 20 different chromosomal regions have been linked to type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility in humans, using genome screening, candidate gene testing, and studies of human homologues of mouse susceptibility genes. The largest contribution from a single locus (IDDM1) comes from several genes located in the MHC complex on chromosome 6p21.3, accounting for at least 40% of the familial aggregation of this disease. Approximately 30% of T1D patients are heterozygous for HLA-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201/DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302 alleles (formerly referred to as HLA-DR3/4 and for simplification usually shortened to HLA-DQ2/DQ8), and a particular HLA-DQ6 molecule (HLA-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602) is associated with dominant protection from the disease. There is evidence that certain residues important for structure and function of both HLA-DQ and DR peptide-binding pockets determine disease susceptibility and resistance. Independent confirmation of the IDDM2 locus on chromosome 11p15.5 has been achieved in both case-control and family-based studies, whereas associations with the other potential IDDM loci have not always been replicated. Several possibilities to explain these variable results from different studies are discussed, and a key factor affecting both linkage and association studies is that the genetic basis of T1D susceptibility may differ between ethnic groups. Some future strategies to address these problems are proposed. These include increasing the sample size in homogenous ethnic groups, high throughput genotyping and genomewide linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping to establish disease associated ancestral haplotypes. Elucidation of the function of particular genes ('functional genomics') in the pathogenesis of T1D will be a most important element in future studies in this field, in addition to more sophisticated methods of statistical analyses.

Abstract
We assayed for germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNFB and TNFA genes in patients with breast cancer. SNPs were observed in the first intron of TNFB (G/A) and at -1031 (T/C), -863 (C/A), -857 (C/T) and -308 (G/A) in the promoter region of TNFA from peripheral leucocytes in 95 breast cancer patients and 190 healthy subjects as controls. The TNFB*G/TNFB*G homozygote (23.2% vs. 5.8%, P= 0.001) was predominant in patients, while the TNFB*A/TNFB*A homozygote was less frequent in patients (34.7% vs. 46.3%, P = 0.041) than in the control subjects. Breast cancer was not associated with SNPs in the TNFA promoters. Although the TNFB SNP failed to associate with any clinicopathological parameter of breast cancer, a substantial difference in pathology among tumour stages for the -857 SNP in TNFA was detected. These results indicate that TNFB has both tumorigenic and antitumorigenic capabilities depending on the genotype: the TNFB SNP TNFB*G/TNFB*G genotype gave an increased risk for breast cancer and that of TNFB*A/TNFB*A gave resistance to breast cancer (OR = 5.3395%; CI: 2.33-12.19). The results suggest that the TNFB*G allele plays some role in the tumorigenesis or activation of dormant tumour cells, but the TNFB*A allele induces some function(s) leading to the inhibition of tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Given that the NcoI polymorphism of the tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-beta) gene has been shown to be associated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) secretory capacity, we know that this TNF-beta gene polymorphism may influence insulin resistance. In Caucasians, 2 polymorphisms of the TNF-alpha promoter region (positions -308 and -238) have been reported to be associated with insulin resistance. Thus, we investigated how genetic variation in the TNF-beta and TNF-alpha genes was associated with insulin resistance in 211 Japanese men. The frequency of the TNF-beta gene polymorphism was 0.41, and insulin resistance, estimated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), was significantly lower in variant homozygotes versus wild-type allele. The frequencies of the -308 and -238 polymorphisms were 0.01 and 0.02, respectively, and these polymorphisms were not associated with insulin resistance. Our results suggest that the TNF-beta gene polymorphism decreases insulin resistance, and that the -308 and -238 polymorphisms of the TNF-alpha promoter region are not a major contributing factor to insulin resistance in Japanese men.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in the 5'-flanking region of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha gene were examined to study the genetic background of type 1 diabetes in Japanese. Five different biallelic polymorphisms were examined in 136 type 1 diabetic patients and 300 control subjects. The frequencies of individuals carrying TNF-alpha-857T allele (designated as TNFP-D allele) or -863A/-1,031C allele (designated as TNFP-B allele) were significantly increased in the patients as compared with the controls. Since these TNF-alpha alleles are in linkage disequilibria with certain DRB1 and HLA-B alleles, two-locus analyses were carried out. The TNFP-D allele did not increase the risk in either the presence or absence of the DRB1*0405 or HLA-B54 allele, while the DRB1*0405 and HLA-B54 alleles per se could confer susceptibility in both the TNFP-D allele-positive and -negative populations. Moreover, an odds ratio was remarkably elevated in the population carrying both DRB1*0405 and HLA-B54. Similarly, the TNFP-B allele did not show significant association with the disease in either the HLA-B61-positive or -negative population, while the HLA-B61 allele could significantly increase the risk in the TNFP-B allele-positive population. These data suggest that the associations of TNFP-D and -B alleles may be secondary to their linkage disequilibria with the susceptible HLA class I and class II alleles. Because HLA-B and DRB1 genes were independently associated, both of these genes may be contributed primarily to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes in Japanese.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)-susceptible HLA antigens in IDDM patients who do not have established risk allele, HLA-DQA1*0301, and analyze relationship of these HLA antigens and the degree of beta-cell destruction. In 139 Japanese IDDM patients and 158 normal controls, HLA-A, -C, -B, -DR and -DQ antigens were typed. Serum C-peptide immunoreactivity response (deltaCPR) to a 100-g oral glucose load < or = 0.033 nmol/l was regarded as complete beta-cell destruction. All 14 patients without HLA-DQA1*0301 had HLA-A24, whereas only 35 of 58 (60.3%) normal controls without HLA-DQA1*0301 and only 72 of 125 (57.6%) IDDM patients with HLA-DQA1*0301 had this antigen (Pc = 0.0256 and Pc = 0.0080, respectively). DeltaCPR in IDDM patients with both HLA-DQA1*0301 and HLA-A24 (0.097 +/- 0.163 nmol/L, mean +/- SD, n = 65) were lower than in IDDM patients with HLA-DQA1*0301 only (0.219 +/- 0.237 nmol/L, n = 45, P < 0.0001) and in IDDM patients with HLA-A24 only (0.187 +/- 0.198 nmol/L, n = 14, P = 0.0395). These results indicate that both HLA-DQA1*0301 and HLA-A24 contribute susceptibility to IDDM independently and accelerate beta-cell destruction in an additive manner.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor B (TNFB) gene is closely liked with tumor necrosis factor A (TNFA) gene between the HLA-B and C2 genes on chromosome 6p21.3. Several genetic variabilities at the human TNFB loci have been identified, which are the NcoI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the first intron, amino acid substitution at codon 26 of exon 3 and EcoRI RFLP in untranslated exon 4. The NcoI RFLP of TNFB gene gives two allelic fragments of 238/259 bp and 497 bp, corresponding to TNFB*1 and TNFB*2 alleles, respectively. To investigate the frequency of NcoI RFLP in the first intron of TNFB in Koreans and to compare to that of other ethnic population, genomic DNAs were extracted from leukocytes of 305 unrelated healthy Koreans and amplified the first intron of TNFB gene by PCR. The phenotype frequencies of NcoI RFLP such as TNFB* 1/TNFB*1, TNFB*1/TNFB*2 and TNFB*2/TNFB*2 were 8.6% (n = 26), 45.2% (n = 138) and 46.2% (n = 141), respectively. The estimated allele frequencies for TNFB*1 and TNFB*2 were 0.3115 and 0.6885, respectively. The observed and expected frequencies were in good agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium. The heterozygosity revealed 45.2% and the allele frequencies of NcoI RFLP of TNFB in Koreans were observed comparatively similar to those of other ethnic groups.

Abstract
HLA-DQA11 and DQB1 alleles coding for arginine (R) in position 52, and an amino acid other than aspartic acid (ND) in position 57, respectively, are strong genetic markers for IDDM in Caucasians. However, their contribution to the occurrence of the disease in Asian populations is less clear. As part of the WHO DiaMond Molecular Epidemiology Sub-Project, HLA-DQ molecular typing was performed for IDDM cases and non-diabetic controls from three populations in the Western Pacific Rim Region where incidence rates have been established (Hokkaido, Japan; Seoul, Korea; Auckland, New Zealand). DQA1*R homozygosity was significantly associated with IDDM in all areas. DQB1*ND homozygosity was also related to IDDM in Korea and New Zealand, but not in Japan. Individuals who were homozygous for DQA1*R and DQB1*ND were at highest IDDM risk in Korea and New Zealand, with the most striking findings in Auckland. In Japan, individuals carrying two DQA1*R, but only one DQB1*ND allele, were most likely to develop IDDM. These data revealed considerable genetic heterogeneity between Japan and Korea and suggest that DQA1*R and DQB1*ND alleles may explain a larger proportion of IDDM incidence in Caucasian compared to Asian populations.

Abstract
The WHO DiaMond Molecular Epidemiology Sub-Project is testing the hypothesis that the geographic differences in IDDM incidence reflect population variation in the frequency of IDDM susceptibility genes (i.e., DQA1 and DQB1 alleles with sequences coding for arginine (R) in position 52 of the DQ alpha-chain, and an amino acid other than aspartic acid (ND) in position 57 of the DQ beta-chain, respectively) using a standardized case-control design. Data from twelve populations which have completed (or have nearly completed) recruitment and HLA molecular analyses are presented. There was an approximate 2-fold increase in the frequencies of DGA1*0301, DQB1*0201 and DQB11*0302 among IDDM cases compared to non-diabetic controls in most populations. Interestingly, DQA*0301 was more common in low versus moderate-high incidence countries. DQB1*0201 and DQB1*0302 were more prevalent in the moderate-high incidence areas. DQA1*R and DQB1*ND were both consistent markers of IDDM risk, with stronger associations in moderate-high versus low incidence areas. In general, individuals homozygous for both DQA1*R and DQB1*ND had the highest genotype-specific IDDM incidence rates, which approximated risk estimates for first degree relatives in several countries. These data revealed considerable variation in the frequencies of DQB1 and DQA1 alleles across countries, which likely contribute to the global patterns of IDDM incidence.

Abstract
In order to clarify the nature of T lymphocytes infiltrating the pancreatic islets of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we analysed T cell receptor (TCR) gene transcripts expressed in pancreatic biopsy specimens of patients with recent-onset IDDM. We also investigated the expression of cytokines (interferon-gamma: IFN-gamma; tumour necrosis factor-alpha: TNF-alpha; interleukin-4: IL-4; interleukin-6: IL-6) in the same specimens. The TCR V beta repertoire was not restricted either in the pancreas or the peripheral lymphocytes of IDDM patients. In contrast, the TCR V alpha repertoire was restricted in the pancreas, but not in the peripheral blood lymphocytes, of IDDM patients. The sequence analysis of the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of the TCR alpha revealed the presence of dominant clonality in alpha chains of T cells in the patients. IFN-gamma mRNA was highly expressed in the pancreas of IDDM patients, while IL-4 mRNA was deficient. A lower level of expression of IL-6 mRNA was detected in the IDDM pancreas than in the control tissue. These results indicate that T cells bearing a distinct TCR alpha chain are selectively retained and activated within the pancreas of recent-onset IDDM.

Previous studies have indicated that certain alleles of HLA-DR and -DQ genes were strongly associated with susceptibility and resistance to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and the role of DQ molecule in IDDM has been suggested. To further clarify the association of DQ alleles with IDDM, we determined the nucleotide sequences of full-length cDNA from 13 DQA1 alleles and 14 DQB1 alleles. The sequencing analysis revealed sequence polymorphisms outside the hypervariable region of DQ genes. We then analyzed the DQA1 and DQB1 polymorphisms along with that of DRB genes in 86 B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs) from various ethnic groups and in healthy unrelated Japanese and Norwegian individuals. The allelic and haplotypic distributions in each population revealed the characteristic haplotypic formation in the HLA class II region. HLA genes in 139 Japanese and 100 Norwegian IDDM patients were analyzed. DQB1*0301 was negatively associated with IDDM in both ethnic groups, irrespective of associated DRB1 and DQA1 alleles. In DQB1*0302 positive populations, which represented a positive association with IDDM in both ethnic groups, DRB1*0401, *0404, *0802 haplotypes increased in the patients, whereas DRB1*0406 haplotype decreased. Considering about the hierarchy in DRB1 alleles with IDDM susceptibility (DRB1*0401>*0404>*0403 in Norwegian and DRB1*0802>*0403>*0406 in Japanese), the genetic predisposition to IDDM is suggested to be defined by the combination of DR-associated susceptibility and DQ-associated susceptibility and by the DQ-associated resistance which is a dominant genetic trait.

Abstract
In this article, we have summarized current facts, models and views of the autoimmunity that leads to destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells and consequent Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. The presence of strong susceptibility and resistance gene loci distinguishes this condition from other autoimmune disorders, but environmental disease factors must conspire to produce disease. The mapping of most of the genetic risk (or disease resistance) to specific alleles in the major histocompatibility locus (MHC class II) has direct functional implications for our understanding of autoimmunity in diabetes and directly implies that presentation of a likely narrow set of peptides is critical to the development of diabetic autoimmunity. While many core scientific questions remain to be answered, current insight into the disease process is beginning to have direct clinical impact with concerted efforts towards disease prevention or intervention by immunological means. In this process, identification of the critical antigenic epitopes recognized by diabetes-associated T cells has achieved highest priority.

Abstract
The Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) conducted a multicenter study on HLA and autoimmunity in Japanese patients with early-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). HLA, immunoglobulin heavy-chain complex (Gm), properdin factor B (BF), and glyoxalase of erythrocytes (GLO) were typed, and organ-specific autoantibodies including islet cell antibodies (ICA) were assayed in 159 IDDM patients and their relatives and in 258 healthy Japanese subjects. The HLA-DRw9 phenotype and HLA-Bw61/DRw9 haplotype were significantly increased among the patients with autoantibodies other than ICA, whereas the DR4 phenotype and Bw54/DR4 haplotype were significantly increased in those without the autoantibodies. The DR4 phenotype was significantly increased in the patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases. The relative risk of the HLA-DRw9/DR4 genotype was highest among all DR genotypes. The Gm phenotype of g and gft were significantly increased in the patients with the autoantibodies. The BF-F phenotype was significantly decreased in the patients either with or without the autoantibodies. There was no association of GLO types with IDDM. The prevalence of ICA among IDDM patients was decreased with duration of IDDM. No significant association was found between the prevalence of ICA and sex, age at onset, or HLA type. On the other hand, the prevalence of the autoantibodies was not significantly changed with duration of the disease, and was significantly higher in females than in males.

Abstract
Heat shock protein (HSP) 70 is one of the stress-induced proteins and a candidate for islet autoantigen of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Association of PstI-8.5 kb allele of HSP70 gene with Type 1 diabetes was previously reported in the Caucasian population. Since HSP70 gene is located in the class III region of HLA, the association may be due to the linkage disequilibrium between class II HLA and HSP70 genes. To study whether HSP70 gene is associated with Type 1 diabetes independent of class II HLA genes, we analyzed both HSP70 gene and class II HLA genes in 32 Japanese patients with Type 1 diabetes and 31 control subjects. By Southern blot hybridization with restriction enzyme PstI and HSP70 genomic probe, two allelic bands, 9.0 kb and 8.5 kb, were detected as reported in the Caucasian population. The allele frequencies of 8.5 kb in Type 1 diabetic patients and normal controls were 0.39 and 0.44, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups. On the other hand, by PCR-RFLP analysis, DQA1*0301, DQB1*0303 and DQB1*0401 alleles were positively associated with Type 1 diabetes and DQA1*01 was negatively associated with Type 1 diabetes. These data suggest that the polymorphism of HSP70 gene was not associated with Type 1 diabetes in the Japanese population, and that association of PstI-8.5 kb allele with Type 1 diabetes observed in Caucasian population appears to be due to the linkage disequilibrium between this allele and HLA-DR3.

Abstract
It is well known that certain genes in the HLA-D region confer increased susceptibility to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Previous studies have documented an increased risk associated with the HLA-DR beta chain alleles, DR3 and DR4, and the DQ beta chain allele DQB1*0302 (formerly DQw8). Since DQ alpha is also polymorphic and has been strongly implicated as the primary IDDM susceptibility locus in other races, we wanted to assess the contribution of DQ alpha to IDDM in Caucasians. This information would enable us to define more precisely the class II association with IDDM as well as gain insight into issues of cis versus trans association of DQ heterodimers in this disease. To this end, the DQ alpha genotype was determined for a large group of diabetic and normal Caucasian individuals who had been HLA-DQ beta and HLA-DR typed previously. Using the polymerase chain reaction and a set of twelve oligonucleotide probes, we determined the DQ alpha genotype of 323 patients with IDDM and 182 normal subjects. We found that certain DQ alpha alleles are decreased in the diabetic population compared with normal subjects (i.e. DQA1*0102 and *0103), while others are significantly increased in patients with IDDM (i.e. DQA1*0301 and *0501). In addition, certain combinations of DQ alpha alleles are associated with increased susceptibility to disease (i.e. DQA1*0301, *0501). These results parallel our findings at the DQ beta locus; however, because of the various associations between DQ alpha and DQ beta chains, the risks conferred by DQ alpha are generally lower than those at DQ beta. Moreover, our data indicate that, in Caucasians, no single DQ alpha allele accounts for the highest degree of susceptibility to IDDM as in other races, although DQ alpha analysis may be informative in a few cases. When done in combination, however, oligonucleotide analyses at both DQ alpha and DQ beta complement each other and provide a more complete assessment of the HLA-associated component of disease susceptibility in IDDM.

Abstract
Although HLA-DQB1 alleles encoding aspartic acid at position 57 (Asp-57) are protective against Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in Caucasians, most Japanese Type 1 diabetic patients carry at least one Asp-57 DQB1 allele. We analysed the DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 genes of 99 Japanese patients and 86 control subjects with polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. We found that (1) the DQA1*0301 allele was significantly increased in Type 1 diabetic patients (RR7.8, pc less than 0.0001); (2) the DRB1*0405 (Dw15) allele, which is a subtype of DR4 haplotype, was significantly increased in DR4-positive patients (RR 12.0, pc less than 0.001); and (3) although the DRw8-DQw8 haplotype was positively associated with Type 1 diabetes, the DRB1*0406-DQw8 haplotype was decreased in the diabetic patients. These data indicate that DRB1 and DQA1 genes also confer susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes in Japanese.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are candidates for susceptibility genes in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Recently, the association of DR and DQ with IDDM has been reported, but the role of HLA-DP genes remains uncertain. To address the question, we analyzed the DPB1 gene of 20 Japanese IDDM patients and 30 control subjects using a combination of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis (PCR-RFLP method). DPB1*0501 was the most frequent allele both in Japanese patients and control subjects. There was no appreciable association between IDDM and the DPB1 allele in Japanese. The absence of association between IDDM and DP, in spite of the known association between this disease and both DR and DQ, suggests that the HLA locus (loci) telomeric to DP encodes susceptibility to IDDM.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor gene polymorphism has been proposed as a determinant of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Tumour necrosis factor-beta gene polymorphisms were analysed in 40 North Indian Asian Type 1 diabetic patients and 63 control subjects. A 5.5 kilobase gene fragment was significantly increased among the patients (82.5% vs 52%, pc less than 0.01). A 10.5 kilobase fragment was significantly reduced among the patients (70% vs 90.5%, pc less than 0.02). The 5.5 kilobase fragment was associated with DR3, and was not significantly increased among DR3-positive patients compared with DR3-positive control subjects. The 5.5 kilobase/5.5 kilobase genotype was increased among the diabetic subjects (30% vs 9.5%, pc less than 0.03). The 10.5 kilobase/10.5 kilobase genotype was reduced among the diabetic subjects (17.5% vs 47.5%, pc less than 0.02). The 5.5 kilobase/10.5 kilobase genotype was not significantly associated with disease. These findings contrast with those in a white Caucasian population, suggesting that tumour necrosis factor-beta polymorphisms do not predispose to Type 1 diabetes directly, but are in linkage disequilibrium with disease susceptibility alleles at other MHC loci.
