title: The frequency of HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles in cervical cancer cases in the Czech Republic.
abstract: The distribution of HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 alleles in cervical carcinoma patients was compared with the frequency of these alleles found in healthy population living in the Czech Republic. The RFLP analysis and PCR-SSP were used for DNA typing. Although the differences in the frequency of DRB1*03, DQB1*02 and DQB1*0303 alleles between the cases and the controls were rather large, corrected P values did not reach significance.
