Abstract

45 patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus were studied in respect of their serologically defined HLA antigens. HLA-B8 antigen was found in 37.8% of patients as compared to 22% of controls. Individuals carrying the HLA-B8 antigen have a 2.15 times greater risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus than those not carrying this antigen.
