title: The association between HLA antigens and the presence of certain diseases.
abstract: The association between the presence or absence of two HLA antigens and coeliac disease, thyrotoxicosis and ankylosing spondylitis has been studied in patients and controls. The simple empirical logistic model and a refinement due to Dyke and Patterson have been used to examine which conditional associations are important.
