Hla Min acknowledged that Burma's previous government had begun "academic studies" on nuclear technology.
"Public discontent is growing, " says Bo Hla-Tint, a member of the NLD living in exile.
Hla Than was elected during the 1990 parliamentary polls, whose results are not recognized by the military junta.
Democracy activists in exile say Hla Than, 49, died Aug. 2 in a Yangon hospital from internal injuries.
Absent from the honors boards were the names of Nyunt Hlaing, Hla Kyi, Tin Chaw and Kyaw Min.
Of course, it is not something that Hla Kyi, 55, is ever likely to get a chance to read.
But Hla Min insisted that the country had never pursued nuclear weapons.
Patients with either of two genes associated with autoimmune disorders, HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR4, have gone five years without any progression of the disease.
Lt Col Hla Min said he had "probably been exploited" by pro-democracy groups who oppose the military regime, which has ruled Burma since 1962.
The new government had "already given up all activities on nuclear issues", Lt Gen Hla Min told the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore.
Hla Min dismissed a suggestion from the audience that the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), be allowed to inspect the country.
"I am not sure who would even accept responsibility for his release because there is no guarantee he would not do this again, " Hla Min added.
Patients with more diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, including African Americans, Latinos and Asians, tend to have more diverse HLA types, which makes it even harder to find donors.
Burma had maintained political and military ties with North Korea in the past, Hla Min admitted, but "because of our opening and our new efforts, we have stopped such relationships with North Korea", Reuters reported.
Regrettably, one of his colleagues, Maung Maung Gyi (a 78-year-old MP-elect from Mon state, who was himself only recently released from 18 months' detention), told me at the NLD headquarters last week that Hla Kyi had been taken away by the military authorities on Sept. 27 and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Mervyn Jacobson read about Simons' bumpy journey and was smitten with the idea of finding value in junk DNA. In 1989 they formed GeneType and applied for their first patent covering noncoding regions and HLA. In 2000 GeneType pulled off a reverse merger with a publicly traded Australian shell company that formerly mined for gold.
