Genotyping for HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP antigens by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis along with identification of restriction fragments associated with celiac disease (CD) were undertaken in 13 families in which more than one member had CD. Major histocompatibility complex class II haplotypes for the family members were constructed which included both genotypes and RFLP markers. In 12 of the...
