Abstract excerpt
This study presents data on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotypes of 49 unrelated patients with multiple basal cell carcinomas (five or more BCC). Previous investigators noted an association with HLA-DR1 and a negative association with HLA-DR4. However, the previously found association was weak. HLA typing for class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) and class II antigens (HLA-DR, -DQ) was done from acid citrate dextrose...
