Abstract excerpt
HLA class II antigens and DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 alleles were studied in 16 Italian and in 16 Sardinian patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV). In the last group the complete HLA A-DQ haplotypes, including the complotypes, were defined by family studies. As in other populations, two PV susceptibility ha...
