Abstract excerpt
Czechs (CZ) and Gypsies (GY) have lived in the same country for several centuries but seem to have different migratory origins. We have studied 99 CZ and compared them with 34 GY from an isolated group living in Czechoslovakia. DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DQA1, DQB1 and DPB1 alleles were determined by PCR followed by oligonucleotide hybridization. DRB1*0701 was the most frequent DR allele in CZ (af = 36.3%). In GY,...
