title: [Relation between HLA and schizophrenia in German couples].
abstract: The authors, in studying some patients for schizophrenia, typed for HLA system themselves and their sibs. In 11/13 cases the sibs who differ for illness differ also for HLA; that fits with the hypothesis that HLA and schizophrenia genes lie on the same chromosome. But the case is more complex because one of 13 couples, two identical twins, differ for illness but not for HLA antigens.
