The HLA and ABO antigens in pigment dispersion syndrome

Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 Mar;85(3):368-72. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)77732-3.

Abstract

We found no statistically significant differences in phenotype frequencies of the 36 different HLA antigens or the ABO antigens when we compared 27 white patients with pigment dispersion syndrome (18 without glaucoma and nine with glaucoma) with 323 white controls. An increase was suggested in the incidence of B7 in patients without glaucoma, and of B13 among patients with glaucoma.
