Résumé |
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.
