title: HLA (SD and LD) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
abstract: Twenty-five patients with a definite diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were HLA-typed for the serologically detectable antigens A, B and C and MLC-typed for 7 HLA-D-determinants. No significant deviation was found neither in the A, B, and C-series nor in the HLA-D-series as compared to normal controls. The aetiological problem of ALS is discussed.
