The object of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between HLA-DRB1 alleles and the development of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in Taiwan. HLA-DRB1 alleles were studied in 60 patients with JIA and 200 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (SSO). The frequency of HLA-DRB1*0405 in patients with JIA was found to be...
