title: HL-A antigens in idiopathic Addison's disease.
abstract: The frequencies of 36 HL-A antigens of the SD-1, SD-2 and SD-3 locus have been determined in 20 patients with idiopathic Addison's disease and compared with those of 450 controls. No significantly different HL-A antigen frequencies could be observed in both groups. These findings are in contradiction to data reported by a Copenhagen group. Possible mechanisms which might have led to this discrepancy are discussed.
