Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A genomic region on chromosome 6p21.3, including HLA-DPB1, has been linked to Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). The basis of this association is difficult to evaluate because of the complex haplotype block architecture of this region. OBJECTIVE: To identify the causative molecular genetic variation(s) using a detailed HapMap based fine-mapping approach. METHODS: 282 patients with WG and 380 healthy...
