Abstract excerpt
PROBLEM: To clarify whether HLA-DP antigens are associated with patient population of unexplained recurrent abortion. METHOD OF STUDY: The frequency of HLA-DPB1 alleles in patients with unexplained recurrent abortion, and the compatibility of HLA-DPB1 alleles between patient couples, were studied using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restricted fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. Thirty patients who had...
