Popis: HLA-DR4 is a primary disease association marker in type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM). We therefore analyzed the transmission of 228 DR4+ haplotypes in 183 families with an IDDM proband (95 from Germany and 88 from Belgium). In a separate case-control data set, we investigated the HLA-DRB1*04 and DQ allele distribution in 245 IDDM patients and 177 controls from Germany, all DR4 positive. HLA-DRB1 *0401 and *0402 linked to DQB1 *0302 were significantly more often transmitted to patients in the studied families (81% and 89%) in contrast to DRB1 *0401-DQB1 *0301 (33%). The case-control study of HLA-DQB1 *0302+ individuals revealed -DRB1 *0405 to be more frequent in patients with IDDM and HLA-DRB1 *0403 and -DRB1 *0404 to be less frequent. HLA-DQA1 *0102-DQB1 *0602 and -DQA1 *0501-DQB1 *0301 in trans complementation with DRB1 *0401-DQB1 *0302 were also significantly less frequent in IDDM patients (P
