Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sequence level typing of HLA-B, -DRB1, and -DPB1 alleles was performed on Japanese patients with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P). Two HLA-B alleles, B*1501 and B*5101, showed a significant positive association with CL/P. The increase of B*1501 was evident in female patients (OR=3.6, Pc=0.003), whereas the increase of B*5101 was evident in male patients (OR=3.7, Pc < 0.001). One HLA-DRB1...
