Abstract excerpt
HLA-DR allele subtypes in multiple sclerosis (MS) individuals in Spain were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The well-established association of DRw15, DQw6, Dw2 alleles and MS susceptibility was confirmed. The strength of its association, however, was relatively weak in our MS population and no involvement with any other DR allele was observed. DQw6 increase correlated with...
