title: [HLA-A, B, C phenotype frequencies in progressive systemic scleroderma].
abstract: In 41 patients suffering from progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) the phenotype frequencies of 28 HLA-A, B, C antigens were determined. Compared to 2947 blood donors the PSS patients exhibited an increase in the HLA-B8 frequency (37% versus 19%). This difference revealed to be not significant after the correction according to the number of antigens tested. The same was with the increase in the frequency of HLA-B5, B13, B27, Cw2 and the decrease in the frequency of HLA-A2, B12, B14, B15, B4 and Cw3. The results were compared with the data reported in the literature. Additionally, there were no differences when compared the diffuse PSS with the acral form and CREST, respectively.
