Abstract excerpt
Sequence polymorphism in the DQ2 beta chain was investigated in 80 Caucasoid patients with CD, 23 patients with DH, and 64 healthy controls. A set of amplification primers were designed to amplify a 281-bp region between amino acids 95 and 135 encoding the second domain of the DQ beta chain gene....
