[The HLA system and neurofibromatosis, type I]. / HLA-System und Neurofibromatose, Typ I.

In 23 patients suffering from neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease), we determined the serum HLA antigens. The phenotypical frequencies obtained were compared with those of 1314 people presumably healthy. Higher frequency along with a relative risk of more than 3 were found for the antigens HLA-A2, HLA-B5, HLA-B15, HLA-CW2, and HLA-CW3.
