Abstract excerpt
To clarify the molecular relationship between HLA loci and ulcerative colitis (UC) in Japanese patients, we performed HLA-DP genotyping by the PCR-RFLP method and studied tumor necrosis factor beta-chain genetic polymorphism by Southern hybridization, in addition to conventional serologic typing. Significant increase was observed in Bw52, DPw9 (DPB1*0901), and DR2 (DRB1*1502) in Japanese patients with UC. Linkage...
