Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping is routinely performed prior to organ transplantation using peripheral blood leukocyte-derived DNA. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods have permitted HLA genotyping using DNA extracted from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue,

✦ Synopsis
A DQf? locus-specific oligonucleotide probe is used to identify DQf? alleles present in six insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) multiplex families. Results of genotyping using this technique agree with those from cDNA probes and are often clearer. Allele-specific oligonucleotide probes for the DRf? locus are used to identify subtypes (Dw4 and Dw14) of the DR4 specificity in five IDDM multiplex families. This distinction cannot be made with available cDNA probes.

Drug-induced idiosyncratic liver disease (DIILD) depends largely on host susceptibility factors. Small studies support the genetic influence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules on the predisposition to DIILD. We sought associations between HLA-DRB and -DQB alleles and DIILD considere
## Abstract In this report, we present evidence that the HLA class II DPB1 locus (or a locus with alleles in linkage disequilibrium with DPB1) contributes to Type I diabetes (IDDM) susceptibility in addition to the contribution of the HLA DR and DQ loci. The marker association segregation chi‐squar
The enhanced oncogenicity of particular human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6 variants is population-dependent, implying the involvement of additional genetic cofactors. This study was designed to investigate the association between E6 variants and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphism within
