Abstract excerpt

Associations between polymorphisms of DMA and DMB alleles and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were studied in 51 Japanese SLE patients and 77 normal subjects by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Phenotype frequencies of DMB*0101 tended to...
