Abstract excerpt
The distribution of HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles were analysed in 124 Graves' disease (GD) patients compared to 124 normal controls in order to identify the alleles/haplotypes associated with GD in Thai population. The DRB1*1602-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0502 haplotype was significantly increased in GD patients (P = 0.0209, OR = 2.55). DRB1*07-DQA1*0201-DQB1*0201 haplotype (P = 0.039, OR = 0.32) and...
