Study on the association between DRB1 allele polymorphism and the genetic susceptibility in patients with ulcerative colitis / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess human leucocyte antigen(HLA)-DRB1 allele polymorphism and analyze the association between DRB1 allele polymorphism and clinical classification of ulcerative colitis.Methods:60 patients were investigated for DRB1 gene by DNA microarray.The results were compared with those from healthy subjects.Results:The frequency of DR2 and DRB1*15 in UC patients were 45% and 41.7% respectively,which were significantly higher than those(23.3% and 21.7%)in controls,the odds ratio being 2.688 and 2.582 respectively(P
