Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Several studies have been trying to define genetic markers of neurological disorders. Among them, antigens and alleles of the HLA (human leukocyte antigens) system are distinguished. The HLA exerts genetic influence on the susceptibility, clinical aspects and severity of many diseases. The discovery of new molecular methods to typify HLA alleles and the recent nomenclature updates have been...
