Abstract excerpt
We have investigated HLA region microsatellite polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which are known to be associated with HLA class II alleles in the Korean population. Ninety patients with RA and 106 controls were employed for this study, in which TAP1CA, DQCAR, D6S273, HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 allele typing were performed. DQCAR 113 (RR = 3.2, P<0.0002), DQCAR 115 (RR = 3.6, P<0.0001) and heterozygous...
