<prompt> Which type diabetes is HLA associated-Type I diabetesType II diabetesMalnutrition related type diseasePregnancy related type diabetes  <response>: The major susceptibility gene for type 1 DM is located in the HLA region on chromosome 6. Polymorphisms in the HLA complex account for 40-50 of the genetic risk of developing type 1 DM. Most individuals with type 1 DM have the HLA DR3 andor DR4 haplotype. Refinements in genotyping of HLA loci have shown that the haplotypes DQA10301, DQB10302, and DQB10201 are most strongly associated with type 1 DM.
