Human leukocyte antigens and vesicoureteral reflux in Greek children.
Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) were determined in 43 Greek children suffering from vesicoureteral reflux. Children carrying HLA AW19 + 29 were found to have a higher risk of developing the disease. It is suggested that the HLA system may play a role in the pathogenesis of vesicoureteral reflux.
