ABSTRACT
This study included 54 unselected patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) with or without history of rheumatic fever and 224 control subjects, all Kashmiris. HLA-A19 was increased in 42.59 percent of patient population as against 23.66 percent of controls, with a relative risk of 2.39. HLA-DR4 was positive in 56 percent of patients as against 31.69 percent in controls with a relative risk of 2.74. DQ3 was also present in 72 percent of patient population as against 50.7 percent of controls. These findings suggest a genetic predisposition to rheumatic fever/RHD. More family studies are warranted.
