HLA antigens in patients with psoriasis.
Tissue typing was performed on lymphocytes of 46 Jewish patients with psoriasis vulgaris. HLA B13, B17, B37 and Cw6 were found increased. It is suggested that the increase in the B and C locus antigens is inter-related and may determine the genetic predisposition for the development of this disease.
