Abstract

The HLA class II alleles were analyzed by the PCR-SSP technique in the DNA samples obtained from 27 Thai patients with non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). It was found that (1) the incidence of HLA-DRB1*15 and HLA-DRB1*09 was slightly decreased (P > 0.05). On the other hand, the incidence of HLA-DQB1 alleles was the same as control. However, further study is suggested in order to conclude the close relationship between the presence of certain HLA class II alleles and susceptibility to NHL in Thai patients.
