摘要

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is a non classical HLA class I antigen with immuno-modulatory functions. The HLA-G gene is characterized by a +3142C%26gt;G variant in the 3%26apos; untranslated region which is suggested to control protein production and to be associated with pathological conditions. DNAs form 221 randomly selected healthy subjects were genotyped for HLA-G +3142C%26gt;G polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) (BaeGI), real-time PCR and sequencing. The 19% of the PCR-RFLP heterozygous samples were genotyped as 3142GG by real-time PCR and sequencing. This disagreement is caused by digestion efficiency in PCR-RFLP. This real-time PCR method will guarantee an accurate genotyping for future research and clinical purposes, where large cohorts should be tested.
