Immunogenetics of Diabetes

Book cover Immunology of Endocrine Diseases

Part of the book series: Immunology and Medicine ((IMME,volume 3))

Abstract

Much of the confusion that has arisen from studies of the genetics of diabetes mellitus arises from the fact that, until recently, diabetes was regarded as a single disease. It is now clear that there are at least two major types of diabetes which are aetiologically distinct, although they have similar long-term complications. The recent WHO classification of diabetes includes these two categories:

  1. (1)

    Type I, insulin dependent or ketosis prone;

  2. (2)

    Type II, non-insulin dependent or non-ketosis prone.
