Abstract excerpt
The association of HLA A1, B8, and DR3 with generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) in Caucasoids is well established, but no particular gene has been implicated and there is still no adequate explanation in functional terms. In this study we have taken advantage of sequential genomic markers between...
