Abstract excerpt

We have studied the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DQ and DR regions of 79 Chinese patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and compared it with 104 normal Chinese controls. The DR and DQ alleles were confirmed by polymerase chai...
