Abstract excerpt
We evaluated human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles as genetic markers for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease in Mestizo patients in Southern California. Mestizo individuals with VKH disease (n = 29) at two institutions were evaluated. Typing of HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 genes was performed using DNA-based techniques. Gene frequencies were compared to Mestizo individuals living in Southern California. All...
