Failure to detect association of isolated cleft palate with HLA antigens

G Pairitz et al. J Immunogenet. 1985 Aug-Oct.

Abstract

HLA antigen frequencies have been determined in 282 controls and in 33 individuals with isolated cleft palate or the related birth defect velopharyngeal incompetence. No association of particular HLA antigens with this birth defect was found. A previously reported association of HLA A2 with cleft palate, in males, was not confirmed.
