To study was carried out to know HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genotyping in gastritis patients with positive and negative RUT. This study was carried out in College of Medicine, University of Basrah. HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genotyping was done in College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, Winnpeg, Canada during the period from April 2009 to July 2010. A total of 70 gastritis patients, 29 males and 41 females, were included in this study. Significant increased frequencies of DQB1*050101 and DQB1*050201 alleles were found in gastritis patients who showed (+ RUT), but with weak association (odds ratios were 0.83 and 0.79 respectively), as compared with gastritis patients who showed (- RUT).
