[Lack of correlation between frozen shoulder and HLA-B27 (author's transl)].
HLA-B27 antigen is strongly correlated with ankylosing spondylitis and several other rheumatic diseases. However, data concerning frozen shoulder are contradictory. Bulgen reported an increased frequency of HLA-B27 which was not observed by Noy. We performed HLA typing of 46 French patients with frozen shoulder. We agree with Noy: frozen shoulder is not correlated with HLA-B27.
