The genetic factors predisposing to ulcerative colitis (UC) have remained totally unclear to date. This study aimed to investigate the role of HLA-DRB1 genetic polymorphism in the susceptibility to develop UC in Chinese patients. HLA-DRB1 genotyping was carried out in 72 unrelated patients with UC and 314 healthy controls by using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). All of the patients...
