Abstract
The pattern of genetic susceptibility to rheumatic diseases was investigated in Indians by means of HLA analysis. HLA B27 was present in > 90% of cases included under the broad category or seronegative spondarthritides. Data resembled that reported for Caucasian populations. In this population, the phenotypic frequency of HLA B27 was low as reported from Japan.
