Increased frequency of HL-A8 in Sjogren's syndrome. 1975

M E Gershwin, and I Terasaki, and R Graw, and T M Chused

The histocompatibility antigen, HL-A8, was found to be elevated in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Among 24 patients, the frequency of HL-A8 was 58% compared to 21% among controls (P less than 0.001 after correction). With the addition of this disorder to the list of other autoimmune diseases associated with HL-A8, it now seems possible to postulate a single basis autoimmune defect gene in high linkage disequilibrium with HL-A8.

D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
