Thirty members of a Tunisian family with hereditary chondrocalcinosis were typed for HLA-A, B, and DR antigens: 7 affected and 23 unaffected subjects in three consecutive generations. The haplotype A1 B12 DR3 was found in all affected subjects and in 8 unaffected members. Chondrocalcinosis in this family may be associated with the haplotype A1 B12 DR3. The mode of transmission was autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance.
