  • SSP, direct PCR-SSP genotyping; nSSP, nested PCR-SSP genotyping; pb, peripheral blood derived DNA (all other results derived from formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded DNA).

  • 1-151 The expected DRB3 (DR52) gene was not detected.

  • 1-152 The expected DQB1*05 allele was not detected.

  • In cases 1, 2, and 5, the chance of two unselected white Western individuals possessing the same HLA-DRB1 alleles is: case 1 (HLA-DRB1*04, 13) 6%; case 2 (HLA-DRB1*0301, 15) 8%; case 5 (HLA-DRB1*0103, 0301) <1%.4 11
