Comparative study of the residues 63 and 67 on the HLA-B molecule in patients with Takayasu's Arteritis.

Abstract excerpt

Takayasu's Arteritis (TA) has been associated with the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes; nevertheless, results in several populations have been heterogeneous. Studies both in Mexican and Asian populations suggest that residues at positions 63 (glutamic acid) and 67 (serine) of the HLA-B molecule could be the genetic markers for TA. In the present work, we analyzed the sequence of HLA-B alleles in 26...
