Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Major histocompatibility complex strongly contributes to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the European populations, HLA-DRB1*03:01 and DRB1*15:01 are susceptibility alleles, but C4 locus was reported to account for the association of DRB1*03:01. With respect to DRB1*15:01, strong linkage disequilibrium with a variant rs2105898T in the XL9 region, located between DRB1 and DQA1...
