Abstract excerpt
HLA-DP polymorphism was examined among celiac disease patients and controls. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) genotyping showed a significant association of DPw1 in celiac disease (32/80) compared with controls (6/53, p = 0.0002). DPw1 typing by RFLP was verified using DPB1-amplifi...
