Abstract excerpt

Oligonucleotide typing for alleles of the MHC loci DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 was performed in 160 patients suffering from EOPA, JCA (or JRA = juvenile rheumatoid arthritis). Allele and haplotype frequencies of the patients were compared with the data of an unrelated healthy control group consisting of...
