Abstract excerpt
Distribution of HLA-DQA, -DQB and -DPB alleles in ninety-six Japanese patients with melanoma was analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, and the association between clinical parameters and the presence of certain HLA class II alleles investigated. The frequency of HLA-DQB1*0302 was increased, while those of DQA1*0101(04), -DQA1*0401 and DRB1*0802...
