- Abstract
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) used to be considered as a single entity but it is now evident that a range of variants exists. Among them, pure ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) and pure oral pemphigoid (OP) appear to be very different subsets. Previous immunogenetics studies have found increased occurrence of the DQB1*0301 allele mainly in patients with OCP whereas in patients with OP the data are more open to doubt.
