Abstract
As incidence of SLE is high in Blacks, we studied HLA and SLE associations in the French West Indies, whose population is racially mixed. Forty-seven coloured SLE patients have been typed in HLA A, B, C and DR. We observed B8 association in nearly all of the studies. B15 association, more frequent in Caucasians, was found, also B53 association, a Black variant of B5 more frequent in Blacks. We did not find any class II association.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
