Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify potential causative markers involved in the development of early-onset myasthenia gravis (EOMG) in the MHC and non-MHC regions that may interact with the HLA-B*08:01 allele. METHODS: We analyzed 583 MG patients and identified 5 patients homozygous for the disease-associated ancestral haplotype 8.1 (HLA-A*01:01, B*08:01, DRB1*03:01, DQB1*02:01). We also analyzed more than 9000 controls and...
