Search for linkage disequilibrium between alleles in the T cell receptor alpha and beta chain loci and susceptibility to rheumatic fever.

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 were measured in 47 European and 51 Maori subjects with a history of rheumatic fever. These allele frequencies were...
