  • Title: Histocompatibility antigens in polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis.
    Author: Armstrong RD, Behn A, Myles A, Panayi GS, Welsh KI.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1983 Aug; 10(4):659-61. PubMed ID: 6413689.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-five Caucasoid patients with polymyalgia rheumatica or giant cell arteritis were typed for HLA, A, B, C and DR locus antigens. In the total patient group, DR4 had a significantly increased frequency. The prevalence of CW3 and CW6 was also significantly increased, the rise of CW3 possibly being attributable to its well-documented linkage disequilibrium with DR4. The rise in CW6 cannot be attributed to its known linkage disequilibrium with DR7.
