Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Previous association studies have identified genetic variants in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex as substantial risk factors for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). However, a great number of genes are located in the HLA region, and thus fine mapping is quite necessary. METHODS: Targeted capture sequencing were performed on the whole HLA region in 42 IIM patients and 24 healthy...
