Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic articular inflammatory 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 DRB1 molecule. Since these associations between DRB1 genes and susceptibility to RA are incomplete, we examined the role of a CA repeat polymorphic microsatellite marker, D6S273, located...
