Takayasu's arteritis is associated with HLA-B*52, but not with HLA-B*51, in Turkey

INTRODUCTION HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 are two close human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele groups with minor amino acid differences. However, they are associated with two different vasculitides (HLA-B*51 in Behçet's disease and HLA-B*52 in Takayasu's arteritis (TAK)) and with major clinical and immunological differences. In this study, we aimed to screen a large cohort of TAK patients from Turkey fo...

Somnambulism (sleepwalking) Is a Parasomnia Characterized by Behavioral Manifestations of Various Degrees of Complexity

SOMNAMBULISM (SLEEPWALKING) IS A PARASOMNIA CHARACTERIZED BY BEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS OF VARIOUS DEGREES OF COMPLEXITY AND duration occurring during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.1 Somnambulistic episodes generally arise from sudden but incomplete arousal from slow-wave sleep (SWS; stage 3 and 4 sleep) during the first third of the night2-4 but may also occur out of stage 2 sleep or late...

The HLA-DRB1 Polymorphism is Associated With Atopic Dermatitis, but not Egg Allergy in Korean Children

PURPOSE We investigated whether particular HLA-DRB1 polymorphisms contribute to egg allergy development in Korean children with atopic dermatitis (AD). METHODS HLA-DRB1 alleles were determined by PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) and PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) methods in 185 patients with AD and 109 normal control (NC) subjects. AD patients were divided into ...
