This dataset was simulated by sampling cases from an existing type 1 diabetes study (the original data could not be disclosed). The study investigates the relationship between concentration levels (low and high) of the islet antigen 2 antibody (IA2A) and several covariates of potential interest in type 1 diabetes patients (age, gender, and the number of copies (0,1 or 2) of the HLA-DQ2, HLA-DQ8 and HLA-DQ6.2 haplotypes).
