Association between HLA-antigens and periodontal disease.
Patients with periodontitis juvenilis and patients with periodontitis were tissue typed. In the juvenile group, frequencies of tissue type specificities HLA-A9, HLA-A28, and HLA-BW15 were significantly increased as compared to the findings in the general population. In the periodontitis groups, no significant tissue type deviations were found.
