title: Lack of association between HLA antigens and anorexia nervosa.
abstract: Studies of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system were performed in 37 patients with anorexia nervosa to confirm an alleged association with HLA-B16 and haplotype HLA-A26,B38. No correlation between anorexia nervosa and HLA, including HLA-DR, could be found.
