title: HL-A antigens in Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
abstract: An increased frequency of HL-A 1 and HL-A 8 was found in patients with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, whem compared to a control group from the same geographic area, and drawn from a pool of subjects attending one diagnostic centre.
