title: The incidence of HLA antigens in black primary open-angle glaucoma patients.
abstract: We compared the HLA antigen frequencies in black primary open-angle glaucoma patients to those in black non-glaucomatous patients; normal, nondiseased black persons; and nondiseased North American blacks. We found no statistically significant alteration in HLA antigen frequencies in black open-angle glaucoma patients as compared to a control population.
