HLA antigens in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
10 patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria were studied taking 109 normal subjects of the Cuban population as control group. 26 HLA antigens corresponding to loci A and B were studied in both groups. Phenotypical frequency of both groups were compared. No statistically significant increase was found for any of the studied antigens, though there was a nonsignificant increase for antigens HLA-B7 and BW-21. These results might be influenced by the small number of patients studied due to the rareness of the disease.
