An analysis of the HLA-types of 351 children in whom a diagnosis of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) had been made between 1960 and 1990 revealed that although the frequencies of HLA-DR3, -DR4, -DR3/4, -B8 and -Bw62 were increased there was, depending on the year of diagnosis, a marked fluctuation in the frequencies of these HLA-antigens and in the frequency with which -B8 was associated with -DR3 and -Bw62 with -DR4 suggesting heterogeneity/variation in agents initiating/triggering IDDM.
对1960年至1990年间被诊断为胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)的351名儿童的HLA类型进行分析后发现,尽管HLA-DR3、-DR4、-DR3/4、-B8和-Bw62的频率有所增加,但根据诊断年份的不同,这些HLA抗原的频率以及-B8与-DR3、-Bw62与-DR4的关联频率存在显著波动,这表明引发IDDM的因素存在异质性/变异性。
