title: [Human leukocyte antigen and otosclerosis].
abstract: Fifty patients (32 women, 18 men) who underwent stapedectomy [FISCH, V. (1), 1982] for otosclerosis were studied. Histo-compatibility antigens were typed in all patients using the microlymphocytic test to determine antigens of the HLA system loci A and B. Statistical comparison of results with those obtained in a control group of 339 persons without otosclerosis showed that otosclerosis has a genetic HLA-related component.
