TI  - Typing of DNA HLA-DQ alpha alleles extracted from human nail material using 
      polymerase chain reaction.

AB  - The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing of human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) DQ alpha 
      from human fingernails is described. HLA-DQ alpha genotypes can be accurately 
      determined from clipped fingernails. We have typed 26 nails accurately, while one 
      did not give any type since that one sample did not amplify due to the low 
      quantity of DNA. The cut off limit for the digested material to be amplified is 
      approximately 9 mgs of nail material.
