Abstract

The frequency of HLA B13, B17, B37 and Cw6 was investigated in 77 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (57 patients with an onset of the disease between 10 and 20 years of age and 20 patients with an onset between 35 and 45 years). A highly significant increase in the frequency of the four HLA antigens tested was found. The highest relative risk was calculated for Cw6 (RR = 8.28). Furthermore, a significant positive association was observed between the presence of Cw6 and an early onset of psoriasis vulgaris.
