Abstract excerpt

The authors have studied the HLA genotypes in 17 Sicilian coeliac children, in their parents and in their healthy brothers. A positive association has been found between coeliac disease (C.D.) and HLA antigens; this was strongest firstly for DQW2 and than for DR7 and DR3. Those antigens however do not result specific for C.D., because they were present in healty-control population too and because one coeliac...
