title: Fibrocystic disease of the breast and HLA antigens.
abstract: One hundred and ten patients with fibrocystic disease of the breast and 200 controls were HLA typed with a panel of 100 antisera for A and B locus. The main finding was the decreased frequency of BW35 antigen among patients compared to the controls. The difference remained significant in patients with the fibrous type of the disease and in patients of the nulliparous group. In addition the last group of patients showed a significant increase of All antigen.
