The Frequency of HLA—Dw1 Determinant in Subacute (de Quervain's) Thyroiditis

Abstract
Investigation of a group of 23 patients suffering from subacute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis for the frequency of the HLA-Dw1 determinant showed this determinant to be more frequent -30.4% - compared to its frequency in a healthy population — 19.1%. The finding is not statistically significant.
