Abstract excerpt
MHC-extended haplotypes were investigated in multiplex families of patients with hyperthyroid GD. Using a combination of both phenotypic (serology and protein electrophoresis) and genotypic (DNA-RFLP) markers, 159 MHC-extended haplotypes extending from HLA-A across the MHC class III (C2, Bf, C4A, and C4B) toward the HLA-DR/DQ complex were deduced from 217 (51 and 166 affected and unaffected) members of 21...
