Abstract excerpt
1. We have investigated the frequencies of the major histocompatibility complex class II alleles by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, using DR, DQ and DP complementary DNA probes, in 40 Caucasoid steroid-sensitive nephrotic children. 2. A significant association with HLA-DR7 was...
