HLA A, B, C and DR were typed in 73 Korean patients with Tourette disorder meeting the diagnostic criteria of DSM III-R and compared with 291 normal subjects. Relatively higher frequencies were found in HLA A11 and A26(10) with lower incidences in HLA A24(9) and B13. A family history of tic disorders was associated with a lower frequency of HLA A24(9).
