HLA class II gene polymorphisms in antiphospholipid syndrome: haplotype analysis in 83 Caucasoid patients.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between HLA class II haplotypes and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). METHODS: HLA DRB1, DQB1 and DQA1 genotypes were determined by the polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers in 83 Caucasoid British patients with APS. The genotype frequencies were compared between subgroups of patients and 177 healthy controls. RESULTS:...
