Frequencies of three locus DLA class II haplotypes in 66 ESSs with CH and 84 healthy controls.

<p>A total of 11 different haplotypes with frequencies >1% were identified. DLA-DRB1*00601/DQA1*005011/DQB1*00701 (haplotype four) had an increased frequency in cases and DLA-DRB1*00501/DQA1*00301/DQB1*00501 (haplotype eight) was significantly more frequent in controls, both numbers shown in bold. A p value for significance was set at 0.05 for comparison of haplotype frequencies.</p

Frequencies of DLA class II alleles in 66 ESSs with CH and 84 healthy controls.

<p>Altogether, 10 DRB1 alleles, six DQA1 alleles and eight DQB1 alleles were found in the population. The alleles DRB1*00601and DQB1*00701 were observed in a higher frequency in cases while the alleles DRB1*00501and DQB1*00501 were more frequent in controls. Numbers in bold indicate a significant difference between cases and controls. NS; not significant.</p>*<p>After Bonferroni adjustment, significance level would be p<0.017.</p
