| abstractText | A familial component to the tendency to develop autoimmune gastritis has long been recognized. Although linkage to certain HLA alleles and an association with the endocrine autoimmune diseases thyroiditis and type 1 diabetes have been reported, little further progress has been achieved in clinical studies. In contrast, the mouse model of gastritis induced in the BALB/c strain by thymectomy in the third day of life has identified four linkage regions; two on distal chromosome 4 (Gasa1 and Gasa2), one on chromosome 6 (Gasa3) and one in the H2 (Gasa4). Three of these four genes colocalize with NOD mouse diabetes susceptibility genes--the strongest concordance identified to date between any two autoimmune diseases--reflecting the association between autoimmune diabetes and type 1 gastritis in humans. |
