  • Title: Recurrent acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy in two cousins.
    Author: Kim RY, Holz FG, Gregor Z, Bird AC.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1995 May; 119(5):660-2. PubMed ID: 7733198.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE/METHODS: To test the hypothesis that there may be inherited predisposition in acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, HLA typing was undertaken in two cousins with recurrent disease. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Both cousins were shown to have HLA antigens DR2 but not B7; both antigens have been associated with this disorder previously. This finding is compatible with the concept that DR2 may be associated with an increased risk of recurrent disease.
