Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease associated with HLA-DR genes that share a five amino acid sequence motif, QKRAA or QRRAA, from position 70 to 74 in the third hypervariable region of the DRbeta1 molecule. Since the associations between DRB1 genes and susceptibility to RA are incomplete, in this study we examined the CA repeat polymorphic marker DQCAR, located between DQA1 and DQB1...
