Abstract
Objective: The HLA-DRB1 alleles play an important role in the genetic predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The relationship between HLA-DRB1 and rheumatoid arthritis show differences according to various ethnic groups and geographical distributions. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of HLA-DRB1 among the Turkish RA patient population in the Southeastern Anatolia Region.
