Association between HLA-DQB1 polymorphisms and pemphigus vulgaris: A meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: In summary, our study suggests that alleles from the groups DQB1*05 and DQB1*03, concretely DQB1*05:03 and DQB1*03:02, respectively, may be the susceptibility factors for PV at allele and phenotype levels, whereas DQB1*05:01, DQB1*02, DQB1*06:01, and DQB1*03:03 are negatively associated with PV.
