The human Heat Shock Proteins (HSP70) family plays a key role in up-regulating stress responses. Some studies reported possible associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the HSP70 genes with some autoimmune diseases. However, whether HSP70 polymorphisms represent a risk factor for pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is still unkown. We analyzed by PCR-RFLP polymorphisms of HSP70 genes HSA1A, HSPA1B and HSPA1L in 80...
