Further study on HLA-A, B, C, D, DR and haplotype antigen frequencies in psoriasis vulgaris.
HLA-A, B, C, D, and DR antigens in 40 Japanese patients with psoriasis vulgaris were analysed using the antisera obtained from the Seventh International Histocompatibility Workshop. The most deviant HLA antigens in psoriasis were found to be HLA-Cw6 and DRw7. by observing the HLA-A, B, C and DR antigens en bloc in psoriasis, it is shown that the statistically significantly associated haplotype antigens were HLA-A1, B13, Cw6 and DRw7, and A1, B37, Cw6 and DRw6 respectively. No HLA-Dw11 (LD17) antigen was associated with the disease.
