HLA DR-DQ Genotyping by Capillary Electrophoresis for Risk Assessment for Celiac Disease.
The risk for celiac disease (CD) is clearly related to specific HLA DQA1 and DQB1 alleles, but HLA -typing is often considered too costly for frequent use.Here we present a method using sequence-specific primed PCR (PCR-SSP) for HLA-DR-DQ genotyping optimized for capillary electrophoresis on Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic Analyzer. Requiring a total of three PCR reactions and a single electroph
