Le diabète insulinodépendant est une maladie polygénique à composante environnementale. Les progrès de la biologie moléculaire ont permis de mieux cerner le poids de la génétique dans cette affection. En pratique, ces connaissances posent deux questions importantes. D'une part, pourra-t-on prédire, grâce à l'utilisation de marqueurs génétiques, un risque majeur pour la maladie dans des familles ou dans la population général 1, record 1, French, - maladie%20polyg%C3%A9nique
