Abstract
The HLA-A, B, C and DR antigen distribution in 128 Korean patients with Graves'' disease was compared with that in 220 controls. The frequency of HLA-B13, DR5 and DRw8 (relative risk 3.8, 4.4, and 2.3, respectively) was significantly increased in patients with Graves'' disease. There was no significant correlation between the presence of these HLA antigens and the clinical features.Keywords
