hla-drbi allele frequency in myas thenia gravis patients from southern iran

HLA-DRBI ALLELE FREQUENCY IN MYAS THENIA GRAVIS PATIENTS FROM SOUTHERN IRAN

HLA-DRB1 allele frequencies of 28 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, residents of southern Iranian provinces, were studied using PCR-SSP method. The control group consisted of 100 healthy individuals of the same ethnic group. The allele HLA-DRB1 * 16 (RR= 2.04, p= 0.028) was found to be significantly increased in MG patients compared to the control group, whereas HLADRB1 * 15(RR= 0.17 p= 0.0...

Association of HLA-DQA1*0101/2 and DQB1*0502 with Myasthenia Gravis in Southern Iranian Patients

Background: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular junction characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. Different genes may control the induction and clinical presentation of this disease. Various HLA alleles are reported as predisposing or protective genetic elements in myasthenia gravis. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the probable as...

Association between myasthenia gravis and HLA antigens in patients

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis is a disease of neuromuscular junction. Familial cases have been reported. Relation between myasthenia gravis and HLA antigens has been seen in many studies from different parts of the world. The aim of this study is determination of association between HLA class I haplotypes and myasthenia gravis in Kerman province. Methods: In this cross sectional study 44 my...
