Abstract excerpt
Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) is a complex autoimmune disease known to have an association with the HLA system. The aims of the present study were to compare the suballelic association of HLA-B27 and other HLA class I genes with microsatellite markers spanning the HLA class I region in the South Indian population of Kerala. The five microsatellites were C1_2_A (D6S2793), C1_2_5 (D6S2811), C1_4_1 (D6S2927), MIB...
