Abstract excerpt
Fifty-two British and 29 Greek idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients were analysed for DRB, DQA1, DQB1 and DPB1 gene polymorphism using second exon amplification and sequence-specific oligonucleotides (SSO). In addition 100 British and 92 Greek controls were analysed. A highly signific...
