title: [Various anthropologic characteristics of patients with myasthenia gravis].
abstract: The anthropologic examination comprised: somatic measurements, cephalic measurements, determination of the pigmentation of the eyes and hair of women with myasthenia. The studied group was living in the towns of Lower Silesia and it included 47 myasthenic women and 67 healthy ones aged from 24 to 45 years. In 36 patients the HLA antigens were determined. The examination showed significant differences in the proportions of the body and head and in the pigmentation of eyes and hair between both these groups. The haplotypes HLA-B8, HLA-DR3 and HLA-A1 were significantly more frequent in the group of patients.
