      Citation Excerpt :

      The mechanism proposed here to explain the rising incidence of T1D may be operative in other polygenic diseases. Gluten-sensitive enteropathy is an autoimmune disease that is rising in frequency [47]. Susceptibility HLA markers are HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR7 and excesses of HLA-DR3/DR7 and HLA-DR5/DR7 heterozygotes have been reported in some populations [48,49].
