Pars planitis in father and son.
The authors examined a family in which father and son presented with pars planitis. Both of them and the paternal grandparents were HLA typed; no association between HLA antigens and pars planitis was found. Present and previous data suggest a relation between pars planitis and allergic predisposition.
