Do HLA Antigens Play a Role in Intermediate Uveitis?

摘要

AbstractA total of 52 nonrelated Caucasian patients (21 male, 31 female, age at onset of the disease: 7–74 years, average: 31.6 years) suffering from intermediate uveitis were tissue typed for 56 different HLA‐A, ‐B, ‐C and ‐DR‐antigens.No significant association between any specific HLA‐antigen and the disease, both when comparing the total patient group with a large, healthy control population, or any of the different subgroups (male vs. female, early vs. late onset, mild vs. severe course) could be
