HLA antigens in affective disorders and schizophrenia.
The distribution of HLA antigen frequencies has been studied in patients with affective disorders. There were no significant differences between bipolar patients, unipolar patients, or controls. Preliminary data on HLA antigen distribution in schizophrenic patients are reported. Our negative results in affective disorders are discussed in relation to HLA studies reported from other laboratories, with special reference to some potential methodological problems.
