      Abstract

      HLA typing of 71 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) showed an overall increase in frequencies of HLA-A3, -B7, -DR2 as well as concomitantly decreased frequencies of HLA-44 and DR7. The strongest associations were seen with HLA-DR2, -DR7 and -B44 in CIDP overall, although they did not reach statistical significance.
