Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There is increasing evidence that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allelic variants play a role in the genetic predisposition to Parkinson disease (PD). In this regard, we have recently reported that the HLA-DRB1*04:01 allele, typified by residues Q/R-K/R-R-A-A at positions 70-74 in the HLA-DRβ1 chain in combination with valine at position 11 (11-V), confers moderate protective effects. In...
