Abstract
One hundred and twenty-three patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and a similar number of controls were tissue typed for 30 HL-A antigens to determine if there were any associations between particular HL-A antigens and the disease. None were found. However, HL-A7 was found more frequently in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis demonstrating tenosynovitis than in the population with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a whole. These observations fail to support the contention of others that HL-A-W27 is found more frequently than expected in such patients. (N Engl J Med 293:636–638, 1975)Keywords
