Dermatitis herpetiformis is a chronic subepidermal vesicular autoimmune skin disease characterized by a strong association with the human leukocyte antigen A1-B8-DR3-DQ2 haplotype. Although the strongest major histocompatibility complex association has been shown to be with the DQw2 (DQB1*0201/DQA1*0501) heterodimer, recent evidence has suggested that there may be up to three susceptibility loci within the major...
