Abstract excerpt
A population-based linkage disequilibrium study was conducted to search for associations between alleles in T cell receptor alpha and beta chain polymorphic loci and susceptibility to rheumatic fever. The allele frequencies of four T cell receptor locus restriction fragment length polymorphisms w...
