Abstract excerpt
Contribution of polymorphism of transporter associated with antigen processing 1 and 2 (TAP1 and 2) alleles to pathogenesis of Japanese rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was studied in 92 RA patients by PCR-RFLP. The allele frequency of TAP2A was slightly low (38.0%) and the frequencies of TAP2B and TAP2C were slightly high (39.7% and 17.9%) in RA, but these differences were not significant. These increases and decrease...
