Abstract excerpt
Controversial data have been reported about HLA alleles and susceptibility to melanoma. The relationship between distribution of HLA alleles in patients with melanoma and susceptibility to tumour was analysed, to study the possible correlation between HLA class II DQA1, DQB1 and DRBI genes and melanoma in a Spanish population. Genomic DNA from 82 patients with melanoma and 367 random healthy donors, from the same...
