Publisher's Synopsis
This title provides an extremely helpful analysis of genes that maybe associated with autoimmunity, and answers questions such as howthese genes can be identified, and how the functions of the geneproducts can be elucidated. Incorporating data on disease-associated chromosomal loci that hasbeen accumulated from inbred mice, the title: descibes how some susceptibility loci may be common to manydiseases, whereas others are relatively disease specific discusses the importance of developing criteria for establishingthe significance of these different categories ofdisease-associated loci.
