Characteristics of Type 1 Diabetes Among Patients Carrying the Protective HLA‐DQB1*06:02 Allele

This is in line with previous studies reporting that the male gender is associated with a higher incidence of T1D particularly in Caucasian populations with high disease rates 38 . Our findings are also in line with previous studies on the differences of T1D risk depending on the affected family member, as the frequency of paternal T1D has been observed to be almost two times higher than that of maternal T1D 39,40 .…”
