Abstract excerpt
HLA-DPB1 genotypic and phenotypic frequencies were investigated in a series of 35 adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 42 controls. No significant associations between DPB1 alleles and susceptibility to RA were demonstrated, although some non-significant differences in DPB1*0301 and 0401 allele frequencies between patients and controls were observed.
