  • Title: [AW23 and AW24 associated with chronic calcifying pancreatitis of alcoholic origin (author's transl)].
    Author: Dani R, Antunes LJ, Rocha WM, Nogueira CE.
    Journal: Arq Gastroenterol; 1978; 15(4):163-6. PubMed ID: 749853.
    Abstract:
    Determinations of histocompatibility antigens of A and B loci was undertaken in 22 white male patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) of alcoholic etiology and compared to 100 controls. Results were analysed by the kappa2 test with Yates correction. HLA--AW23 and AW24 were significantly more prevalent in patients than in controls and HLA-B8 was absent in all CCP cases. Although the small number of cases is insufficient to allow any definite conclusion, the obtained data suggests the presence of a genetic predisposition to this disease.
