Abstract:
A total of 52 nonrelated Caucasian patients (21 male, 31 female, age at onset of the disease: 7-74 years, average: 31.6 years) suffering from intermediate uveitis were tissue typed for 56 different HLA-A, -B, -C and -DR-antigens. No significant association between any specific HLA-antigen and the disease, both when comparing the total patient group with a large, healthy control population, or any of the different subgroups (male vs. female, early vs. late onset, mild vs. severe course) could be demonstrated.
