HLA-B*51 Frequency in Transplant Patients and Donors

CONCLUSIONS: No significant relationship was shown between patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and HLA-B*51 positivity. Previous studies support frequency of the HLA-B*51 allele in the control group. Although Behçet disease is known to cause renal vasculitis, HLA-B*51 positivity alone was not associated with vasculitis or inflammation.PMID:38385410 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P76
