title: [HLA antigens in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, their relatives, and spouses].
abstract: The results of the comparison between phenotypic frequency of HLA antigen classes I and II in patients afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their relatives (study carried out in the east of Andalusian), showed a significant increase of HLA A24, B51, B44, CW1 ans CW5 class I antigen in the group of relatives. We found a statistically significant DR4 antigen class II increase in both, patients and relative groups. The marriage parther of patients with RA did not have variations in class I or II HLA antigens compared to the control group. We concluded that RA is probably related to the following antigens: A24, B51, B44, CW1, CW5 and DR4.
