چکیده

We have studied nucleic acid antibodies in 23 insulindependent diabetics, 27 of their first degree relatives, and 23 normal, unrelated controls. We have found a significantly increased prevalence of antibody to ssDNA, ds-RNA (reovirus), and synthetic RNA (Poly A Poly U, Poly I Poly C) in the unaffected relatives as well as in the diabetics when compared with normal controls. There was no relationship in HLA. DIABETES 30:873-874, October 1981.
