HLA-B27 and frozen shoulder

D Y Bulgen et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Histocompatibility antigens were determined in 38 patients with frozen shoulder and 216 normal blood-donors. HLA-B27 was significantly more common in patients with frozen shoulder (42%) than in the controls (10%). The distribution of the other 19 histocompatibility antigens was similar in the patient and control groups. This result may be associated with the suggested immunological pathogenesis of the condition.
