title: HLA antigens in atopic dermatitis. A family study.
abstract: The HLA antigens in a family with atopic dermatitis were studied. All family members with atopic dermatitis had haplotype A2, Bw35, Cw4. It has been recently demonstrated that HLA type Bw35 is found with an increased frequency in atopic dermatitis. There appears to be an inconsistent and weak correlation between atopic dermatitis and HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C loci.
