• HLA-B53: This human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is associated with protection from malaria. (Malaria and Plasmodium — Notes)
• Furthermore, the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) System is a highly polymorphic system crucial for immune response and organ transplant compatibility. (Types of Polymorphism — Notes)
• The risk factors include:Genetic predisposition associated with HLA-DR4 and HLA-DR1 (Human Leukocyte Antigen class II histocompatibility D related beta chain- expressed on T cells) (Rheumatoid Arthritis)
