Linkage disequilibrium between the human leukocyte antigen class II region of the major histocompatibility complex and Graves' disease: replication using a population case control and family-based study.
Early case control studies found association of the DRB1 allele, DR3, with Graves' disease (GD). Recent reports, claim the DQA1 allele, DQA1*0501, to be the primary susceptibility determinant within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region. We typed 228 GD patients, 364 controls, and 9...
