Abstract excerpt
The present study represents the first four-digit allele genotyping of HLA-A and -B in Japanese Behcet's disease (BD) patients and controls using a new genotyping method (named the PCR-SSOP-Luminex method) to determine the association of certain HLA-A or -B alleles with BD. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected from 180 Japanese BD patients and 170 healthy controls. The genotype frequency of HLA-B*5101 was...
