| Abstract: | ![]()
The phenotype distribution of seven HLA—D alleles among 72 unrelated Psoriasis vulgaris patients was investigated. Statistically significant deviation from the antigen frequency in healthy donors was found for a new HLA—D allele, locally designated EI, with a relative risk value of 5.97. This observation indicates that Psoriasis vulgaris belongs to the group of diseases with associations to HLA—B as well as HLA—D alleles. |
