[HLA-antigens and sensorineural deafness].
HLA-typing was performed in 103 patients with moderate or severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Statistical analysis showed an association between HLA antigen B18 and Bw16 and the hearing deficit. A highly significant association was found between HLA antigen Bw16 and a hereditary bilateral moderate or severe sensorineural hearing loss.
