MORERA BARRIOS, Luz M et al. Preliminary study of the phenotypical and genic frequency of HLA antigens in Voght-Koyanagi-Harada’s disease. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2001, vol.17, n.2, pp. 128-131. ISSN 1561-2996.

The frequency of 67 HLA class I (loci A, B and C) antigens and of 18 HLA class II antigens was determined in 15 patients carriers of Voght-Koyanagi-Harada’s syndrome that were diagnosed in the Ophthalmology Service of “Enrique Cabrera” General Hospital and “ Ramón Pando Ferrer” Hospital. 276 persons from different regions of Cuba were used as controls. On analyzing the results, no association was found between the HLA class I and class II antigens and the disease in the sample of patients compared with the sound controls
