Lack of association between HLA antigens and anorexia nervosa.
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.
