Abstract excerpt
The distribution of HLA class II alleles in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has previously been reported only for HLA-DR. We report here the results of genomic typing for HLA-DR, -DQ and -DP allelic variability by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in 49 patients with a history of GBS. No association was found to HLA-DR, -DQ or -DP alleles or HLA-DR-DQ haplotypes. Subgrouping of patients according to...
