HLA-DQ9

HLA-DQ9 (DQ9) is a human leukocyte antigen serotype within the HLA-DQ (DQ) serotype group. DQ9 is a split antigen of the DQ3 broad antigen. DQ9 is determined by the antibody recognition of β⁹ and this generally detects the gene product of DQB1*0303.

Serology

The serotyping efficiency of DQ9 is poor. The recognition of DQB1*0303 by DQ9 and or DQ3 is poorest, DQ2 which recognizes a different DQB1 subgroup recognizes DQB1*0303 as efficiently as DQ3. For this reason DQ9 serotyping is a poor method of typing for transplantation or disease association prediction or study.

DQB1*0303

(DQ9) is associated with nasal polyps,gestational diabetes, microscopic polyangiitis (Japanese). Primary linkage is with DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303

Haplotypes and disease

DQ9.2

DQA1*0201:DQB1*0303 is associated with type I psoriasis (vulgaris),

DQ9.3

DQA1*0302:DQB1*0303 maybe associated with juvenile diabetes in the orient. (Chinese) Primary linkage of vitiligo is with DQA1*03-DQB1*0303

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (ドラゴンクエストIX 星空の守り人, Doragon Kuesuto Nain Hoshizora no Mamoribito) is a role-playing video game for the Nintendo DS. It was developed by Level-5, and published in 2009 by Square Enix in Japan; it was published by Nintendo in North America and PAL regions a year later, in 2010, making it the second numbered installment of the series to be released within Europe and Australia, after Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

Dragon Quest IX introduced local multiplayer functionality to the series, as well as limited compatibility with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It was also the first to be initially released for a handheld game console, and the first to feature spawning of enemies, rather than random encounters. The game retains many of the series' traditional role-playing elements, however, such as turn-based combat and a level system based on gaining experience points. The game was designed to be the most difficult title in the series.

HLA (radio station)

Coordinates: 36°23′15″N 127°21′59″E / 36.38753°N 127.36650°E / 36.38753; 127.36650 (HLA time signal antenna) HLA is a time signal radio station in Daejeon, South Korea, operated by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science. Established on November 24, 1984, it transmits a 2 kW signal on 5 MHz (±0.01 Hz). Originally only transmitted for 7 hours per day (01:00–08:00), 5 days per week (M–F), it is continuous as of 2011, There are over 100 users of the signal in Korea.

It broadcasts a time signal similar to that of the WWV and WWVH stations with which it shares a frequency:
