title: HLA system in relation to carbohydrate metabolism in lichen planus.
abstract: HLA antigens were determined in a group of fifty-two patients with lichen planus. In the group as a whole the frequency of A28 was increased but not significantly so. When the patients were subdivided according to the results of an oral glucose tolerance test, however, a highly significant increase in the frequency of A28 was found among the non-diabetic patients.
