We investigated the DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism of the major histocompatibility complex class II genes: HLA-DRB, -DQA, -DQB, DPA, -DPB, the serologically defined HLA-A, B, C, DR antigens, and the primed lymphocyte typing defined HLA-DP antigens in 23 Danish patients with primary bil

✦ Synopsis
The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the HLA system, encodes at least three polymorphic series of class II transmembraneous glycoproteins designated DR, DQ, and DP. Each molecule consists of an a and a 13 glycoprotein chain (Kaufmann et al. 1984), each of which is coded by genes in the HLA-region. A great number of

Numerous associations between HLA alleles and various diseases have been described. In multiple sclerosis (MS) patients from Northern Europe, there is an increase in the frequency of HLA-DR2, giving a relative risk of about 4 (Svejgaard et al. 1983). This suggests that DR2 haplotypes carry some gene
## Abstract It has been reported that polymorphisms of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes and several cytokine genes are associated with an increased risk of developing gastric cancer (GC). However, the results of studies from different geographic regions, ethnic groups and study groups are incons
