Abstract excerpt
The search for genes involved in the aetiology of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) has centred on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6. Genotyping studies have confirmed an association with HLA class II allele DR8. We investigated polymorphisms in two newly identified genes (TAP1 and TAP2) situated close to the DR locus and thought to encode membrane transporter molecules involved in...
