E. Kulcsarova et al., HLA alleles and susceptibility to dermatological disorders associated withHelicobacter pylori infection: a significant association to HLA-Cw*06, FOL BIOL, 47(2), 2001, pp. 62-65
The occurrence rate of HLA class I and class II alleles was established in
24 patients suffering from dermatological disorders associated with the Hel
icobacter pylori infection. The increased frequency of HLA-C*0602, 4 was fo
und to be 0.1875 compared to 0.0733 in the control group (odds ratio: 2.913
; two-sided P value: P = 0.0251). Our data suggest that the HLA-Cw6 molecul
e play a role in the susceptibility to the Helicobacter pylori infection.
