Re-examination of histocompatibility antigens found in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

D J Gibson et al. N Engl J Med. .

Abstract

One hundred and twenty-three patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and a similar number of controls were tissue typed for 30 HL-A antigens to determine if there were any associations between particular HL-A antigens and the disease. None were found. However, HL-A7 was found more frequently in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis demonstrating tenosynovitis than in the population with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a whole. These observations fail to support the contention of others that HL-A-W27 is found more frequently than expected in such patients.
