Abstract excerpt
The involvement of HLA genes in the susceptibility to coeliac disease (CD) has been well documented and represents the only consistently observed genetic feature of this multifactorial disease. In the present study, the search for new susceptibility genes has been devoted to a candidate region suggested by the association of CD with Williams syndrome (WS). This genetic disorder is due to a deletion in the 7q11.23...
