This protocol includes instructions for drawing, processing and storing blood according to the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) Manual of Operations. Human Leukocyte Antigen is measured by using the linear array genotyping system method. The PhenX Infectious Diseases and Immunity Working Group would like to note that the science of HLA matching is rapidly advancing and evolving and multiple methods for HLA assays are available. To aid in comparability, the Infectious Diseases and Immunity Working Group recommends that the investigator record the make and manufacturer of equipment used and the repeatability and coefficients of variation for the assay. Please also note that the immobilized linear arrays used to genotype the samples were provided by Roche Molecular Systems and are not commercially available.
