A three‐allele model is presented for the inheritance of ‘juvenile’ insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDJI). The model postulates a susceptibility locus S tightly linked to the HLA complex. The model incorporates relative‐risk and HLA‐association data from the literature which suggest genetic heterogeneity within IDDM, together with population prevalence, twin and sib concordance rates, and distortions in HLA haplotype concordance values for affected sib pairs. The model appears to provide a reasonable fit to existing data. It predicts low penetrances for some, but not all, genotypes and a strong association between HLA B8 and one of the S alleles. The model makes additional specific predictions about how different forms of IDDX are distributed in sporadic and familial cases. These predictions can be tested in future genetic‐epidemiologic studies.
