Vitiligo is associated with HLA-DR4 in black patients. A preliminary report.

Archives of dermatology - 1 Jan 1990

Dunston G M, Halder R M

Abstract excerpt

We have determined the HLA-DR and HLA-DQ phenotypes of 24 black patients with vitiligo and compared these with phenotypes of 143 local black controls. HLA-DR4 was significantly increased in patients, 38% vs 11% for controls. HLA-DQw3 was also increased in patients, 58% vs 32% for controls and may be explained in part by linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DR4. When patients were subgrouped according to family history...
