Differential FCGR2A and FCGR3A Alleles/Genotypes in Pemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus in Southeastern Brazil

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and the endemic form of pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are prevalent in southeastern Brazil. Although their etiopathogenesis has not been defined yet, HLA alleles determination allowed PV to be differentiated from PF in genetic terms ( Brochado et al., 2016 Brochado M.J. Nascimento D.F. Campos W. Deghaide N.H. Donadi E.A. Roselino A.M.
