Abstract excerpt
IgA-deficient individuals (n = 110) and six families comprising 9 cases of IgA deficiency were typed for HLA-A, -B, -DR, C4 and factor B. Phenotype frequencies were increased for HLA-B8 (p = 0.004), HLA-DR3 (p = 0.001) and homozygous C4AQ0 (p = 0.01) and decreased for HLA-B7 (p = 0.004), HLA-DR2...
