Abstract
The information available in the literature is controversial as to the association between HLA-DR and systemic sclerosis (SS). We studied 44 Caucasians with SS and found DR1 (P = 0.025; RR = 2.4) and DR5 (P = 0.05; RR = 3.8) to be increased whereas DR3 was not found to be increased when compared to local controls. The possible influence of a DR specificity in the clinical manifestations of SS was also investigated but not found.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
