Assessment of the influence of HLA class I and class II loci on the prevalence of keloid disease in Jamaican Afro-Caribbeans.

Tissue antigens - 1 Nov 2011

Ashcroft K J, Syed F, Arscott G, Bayat A

Abstract excerpt

Keloid disease (KD) is a common abnormal cutaneous fibrotic disorder of unknown aetiopathogenesis. KD is reported to have a strong genetic component as it is often familial and has a high incidence in certain ethnicities, in particular those of Afro-Caribbean origin. Genetic risk factors combined with aberrant lesional inflammatory responses point to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system as a viable target for...
