asthma is a complex and multifactorial disorder. several studies have reported association between different hla- dqb1 and hla- drb1 alleles and allergic asthma. the aim of the present study was to investigate the association of hla-class ii alleles and haplotypes, with total serum ige and the results of the skin prick test in iranian children with allergic asthma. a total of 112 patients with ...

background and objective: the outcome of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection may be influenced by host factors like human leukocyte antigen (hla). we have investigated hla-a and drb1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis b infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from hbv infection. to complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain hla all...

serology and dna techniques are employed for human leukocyte antigen (hla) typing in different transplant centers. results may not always correlate well and may need retyping with different technique. all the patients (with aplastic anemia, thalassemia, and immunodeficiency) and their donors, requiring hla typing for bone marrow transplant were enrolled in the study. serological hla typing was ...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is an antibody deficiency syndrome that often co-occurs in families with selective iga deficiency (igad). this study was designed to investigate the frequency of dr and dq loci of hla class ii region in common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) patients. fifteen iranian patients with cvid or igad (mean age 14.6±5.4, range 4-25 years; 9 male and 6 female) an...

background: thalassemia is probably the most common single gene disorder causing a major public health problem in the world. currently, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is the only curative therapy for thalassemia. one major limitation of hsct is the lack of hla-identical sibling donors, so attention has turned to finding phenotypically matched unrelated donors. patients...
