A large scale case-control genetic association study on type 1 diabetes in Chinese investigating on-HLA genes.
rs2292239 in the ERBB3 gene conferred the primary non-HLA association in Chinese type 1 diabetes.
Markers in the common candidate genes, such as PTPN22, CTLA4, IL2RA, and INS, were not significantly associated with T1D in our Chinese cohort.
