We tested the possible association of the 14-bp polymorphism of the HLA-G gene in the course of two inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Patients and controls were genotyped for the 14-bp polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction with specific primers for the exon 8 of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G gene and the amplified fragment was visualized in a 6%...
