Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the entire HLA region for loci (other than the DRB1 locus) associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility, by typing HLA-DRB1 alleles and multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Japanese population. METHODS: The HLA-DRB1 alleles and 88 SNPs distribut...
