title: [HLA immunogenetic markers in predicting therapeutic resistance in paranoid schizophrenia].
abstract: A study was made of the incidence of HLA histocompatibility antigens of A, B and C loci in 100 male patients suffering from paranoid continuous schizophrenia associated with hallucinatory paranoid symptomatology during the formation in them of therapeutic resistance. In accordance with the clinico-pathogenetic philosophy, 2 groups of resistant patients were formed: an "endogenous" one (because of rapid progression) and a "pharmacogenous" one (secondary, formed by the mechanisms of "adaptation" to neuroleptics). In addition, a group of "nonresistant" patients (a reference one) was also distinguished. The data were compared to those obtained in normal subjects (50 men) and to those derived within the distinguished groups, employing mathematic computation of the risk coefficient. It has been shown that in contrast to the group of normal subjects, the general group of patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia manifested the accumulation of the HLA antigens A2, A9, W7 and B15. The accumulation of the HLA antigens A2 and A11 was characteristic of the patients suffering from "endogenous" resistance, which distinguished those patients from normal subjects, from "nonresistant" patients and those with "pharmacogenous" resistance. The HLA phenotype A2,11 can be regarded as a potential marker of progression (risk grades 9.8). Besides, it has been demonstrated that the HLA antigens B7 may attest to risk of tolerance to psychopharmacotherapy and formation of "pharmacogenous" resistance (risk grades 4.3).
