Phototyping: comprehensive DNA typing for HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5 & DQB1 by PCR with 144 primer mixes utilizing sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP)

TL;DR: The Phototyping set has been used as the sole method of HLA typing for over 1010 individuals and has capacity to detect new alleles, for example, novel amplification patterns suggestive of 4 new HLA-B alleles have been detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

HLA-DR4 subtype frequencies in rheumatoid arthritis indicate that DRB1 is the major susceptibility locus within the HLA class II region.

TL;DR: Sequencing the DRB1 and DQB1 genes from RA patients provides direct evidence that sequence differences between these subtypes implicate those residues around the putative antigen binding site of the DR beta molecule in the pathogenesis of RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of genes of the major histocompatibility complex to susceptibility and disease phenotype in inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Genes of the major histocompatibility complex are implicated as important inherited determinants of susceptibility to ulcerative colitis and may also influence the pattern of disease.
