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 a...
