[Our results suggest a strong association of alloimmunization with a cluster of HLA DR molecules sharing a particular polymorphic amino acid sequence at position 69-70 (Glu-Asp encoded by GAA-GAC nucleotide sequence) of the DR beta 1 chain (RR = 2.95, RR = 5.70 when patients were homozygous for this sequence), and a negative association with the DRB1*0301 allele (2.1% vs. 28%; RR = 0.08).].
