Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II genes DRB, DQA, DQB, and DPA was studied by TaqI Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) in recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA). The study group consisted of 35 primary abortion (PA) couples (no children) and 15 seconda...
