Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationship between HLA class II genotypes and toxic intolerance during treatment with Tiopronin, a slow-acting drug used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we studied 40 patients who were divided into two groups: a group of 22 patients without side effects and a group of 18 patients with intolerance to Tiopronin. The PCR-RFLP method was used to determine the HLA-DR, DQ and DP...
