Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate linkage disequilibrium between HLA-DRB1 disease susceptibility alleles and microsatellite markers close to the prolactin gene, among women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal controls. METHODS: DNA from 89 women with RA, 76 women with SLE, and 94 controls was typed for HLA-DRB1 status and D6S422 and D6S285, 2 highly polymorphic microsatellite...
