Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of HLA antigens and HLA-linked serum complement components (C2, C4A, C4B and BF) were investigated in 79 Japanese patients suffering from psoriasis. HLA typing revealed increased frequencies of HLA-A1, A2, B39, Bw46, Cw6, Cw7 and Cw11. Among complement components, positive associations were obtained with C4A4 and C4B2 and a negative association with BFF. The major histocompatibility complex...
