[Blood group factor and HLA-related epilepsy among the Armenian population].
A study was made of the distribution of antigens of the isoserological systems ABO, Rh-Hr, MNSs, Duffy, Lutheran, Kidd, Kell-Chellano, P and Lewis in 192 epileptics++ in the Armenian community. It was found that the SS phenotype was significantly positively associated with epilepsy, whereas negative relations were established with the SS and AB phenotypes. The remaining group blood markers cannot serve markers of epilepsy in the Armenian community. The segregation familial analysis demonstrated as well that the MNSs system is not related genetically to the HLA system and the gene of "predisposition" to epilepsy, coupled in the Armenian community with HLA-B27 (cross-B27) and HLA-DR3 antigens.
