Abstract We tested the possible association of 14‐bp polymorphism HLA‐G gene in course two inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic (JIA). Patients controls were genotyped for by polymerase chain reaction with specific primers exon 8 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐G amplified fragment was visualized a 6% polyacrylamide gel. A total 106 JIA patients, 265 RA 356 healthy adults 85 children polymorphism. Female patients presented higher frequency −14 bp allele when...
