HLA-DR locus antigens in polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis

K T Calamia et al. J Rheumatol. 1981 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

HLA-DR locus antigens were determined in 69 patients with giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, or both. The frequencies of HLA-DR4 and HLA-DRW6 in these patients were increased above normals. But the differences were not significant in the total group nor when the patients were separated according to the presence or absence of polymyalgia rheumatica.
