Multiple Sclerosis: Association with HL—A3

Abstract

The incidence of HL—A3 among 94 patients with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) was significantly higher than for 871 normal persons. In addition, some increase in Te58 and decrease in HL—A2 and Te60 frequencies was noted. The well‐known higher incidence of MS among Caucasians than among Orientals is paralleled by the higher incidence of HL—A3 and Te58 among Caucasians and a lower incidence of Te60.
