title: [HLA and thyroid cancer].
abstract: HLA typing was performed in 51 patients to analyse the pathogenetic background of differentiated and medullary thyroid carcinomas. A higher incidence of Bw62 and DR5 was observed in patients with papillary carcinoma (n = 24), DRw6 antigen in follicular carcinoma (n = 13), and DR3 antigen in patients with medullary carcinoma (n = 11). The DR3 antigen was present in one of two patients with a familial history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Therefore, HLA typing is not suitable as a screening method for the detection of early thyroid carcinoma.
