Abstract excerpt
HLA-DRB1*04 gene variants were determined in apparently healthy Japanese with PCR-SSCP and PCR-RFLP, and HLA-B-DRB1*04 haplotype frequencies were estimated statistically. DRB1*0405, which consisted of 60% of the Japanese DRB1*04 gene pool, was associated strongly with HLA-B54. This association was observed only for DRB1*0405, and not for any other DR4 variants. DRB1*0403 and DRB1*0406, which share the same...
