HLA-DR gene frequencies in 59 Japanese children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and 62 Japanese adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were analyzed by oligonucleotide DNA typing. As in other studies, the frequency of DRB1*0405 in RA patients was significantly higher than in the Japanese...
