Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate 1) tumor necrosis factor (TNF) microsatellite allele frequencies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 2) associations between TNF microsatellites and RA-associated HLA specificities in order to build up extended HLA haplotypes. METHODS: Eighty-five caucasoid patients with RA and 109 healthy caucasoid controls were typed for TNF microsatellites a-d using fluorescent-labeled primers and...
