Title: [Segregation of HLA haplotypes in a family with infants having spina bifida]. Author: Kulakowski S, Delire M, De Bruyere M. Journal: J Genet Hum; 1979 Oct; 27(3):205-19. PubMed ID: 395274. Abstract: The search for HLA association in spina bifida is particularly interesting since this condition can be associated with the effect of the T locus in mice. Gene and haplotype frequencies in 32 unrelated patients suffering from spina bifida were studied. Patients and families were examined clinically and radiologically. A high frequency of spina bifida occulta and other vertebral abnormalities was found suggesting genetic determinism but no evidence of linkage with HLA genes or haplotypes was found.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
