and type 1 diabetes. Four previously unidentified associations were identified across the spectrum of disease with two- and four-digit HLA alleles and 10 with nonsynonymous variants.

Examining HLA variant disease associations in this large data set allows comprehensive definition of disease associations to drive further mechanistic insights.
