Abstract
HLA-DR locus antigens were determined in 69 patients with giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica or both. The frequencies of HLA-DR4 and HLA-DRW6 in these patients were increased above normals. But the differences were not significant in the total group nor when the patients were separated according to the presence or absence of polymyalgia rheumatica.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
