title: [Histocompatibility antigens in multiple sclerosis in children].
abstract: A phenotyping was done in respect of HLA system in 14 children with documented multiple sclerosis (MS), 20 children with potential MS, and 42 their near relations. HLA-B12 antigen was recordable with high frequency (RR = 6.29; P < 0.025) while HLA-B18 with low one (P < 0.01) as compared to normal subjects both among patients in the general group and in those with proved MS. The latter showed a tendency toward increase in frequency HLA-B7. Children with significant MS where there was an association in the phenotype of HLA-B12 or HLA-B7 with HLA-A3 ran predominantly an aggravating course while their association with HLA-A2 resulted in a more benign course. The results obtained in respect of HLA antigens in MS in children differ from those of other authors on MS in adults.
