title: Association of HLA-DPB1 gene with endometriosis in women of Guangdong Province in China.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the hereditary susceptibility in patients with endometriosis by way of genotyping of HLA-DPB1 alleles.
  
  
  METHODS
  The allelic types of HLA-DPB1 were detected by sequence-based typing (SBT) in 38 patients with endometriosis and 36 healthy women as the control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Significant differences in the frequency of HLA-DRB1 allele was not observed between endometriotic patients and normal subjects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HLA-DPB1 allele may not be related to endometriosis.
