The frequency of HLA-A3 and HLA-B14 antigens was significantly higher in a series of 51 patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis than in a control group, being respectively 78-4 versus 27-0% and 25-5 versus 3-4%. This finding strongly supports the suggestion that idiopathic haemochromatosis is a genetic disease and suggests that the gene(s) responsible for the disease may be linked to the histocompatibility genes.
在一组51例特发性血色素沉着症患者中,HLA - A3和HLA - B14抗原的频率显著高于对照组,分别为78.4%对27.0%以及25.5%对3.4%。这一发现有力地支持了特发性血色素沉着症是一种遗传性疾病的观点,并表明导致该疾病的基因可能与组织相容性基因相关。
