A recent study mapped the known association of type 1 diabetes with the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 gene to a polymorphism at the 3'end (+6230G&gt;A), but could not rule out additional contribution from the 5' end of the gene. To examine this possibility, we analyzed four polymorphisms at the 5'-flanking region for effects independent of +6230G&gt;A. We confirm, by the transmission disequilibrium test, in 496 family trios overtransmission of the susceptibility allele (G) at +6230 (217/168; P = 0.013). Of the four promoter polymorphisms, one (-319C&gt;T) showed overtransmission of the C allele (97/58; P = 0.0017). Because the undertransmitted T at the promoter is in linkage disequilibrium with the overtransmitted G at +6230G&gt;A, the effect observed at the promoter cannot be accounted for by linkage disequilibrium with the +6230G&gt;A. We confirm this by showing that parents heterozygous at the promoter but homozygous at +6230 overtransmit the C promoter allele even more significantly (53/24; P = 9 x 10(-4)). In vitro, the T promoter allele directs higher luciferase expression in Jurkat cells by 42% (P = 0.006), a difference also found in lymphocyte mRNA from eight individuals heterozygous at the promoter, but homozygous at +6230 (P = 1.3 x 10(-4)). Thus, the +6230G&gt;A cannot be the sole functional variant. Either the two polymorphisms define a haplotype carrying the (yet unexamined) functional variant or the -319C&gt;T contributes to the genetic association independently, a possibility suggested by the functional evidence we present.
