The study of the distribution of the HLA phenotypes among 55 patients suffering from Crohn's disease did not show any significant difference compared to a control population. On the other hand, the same study limited to patients suffering both from Crohn's disease and peripheral articular manifestations showed a significant increase in the frequency of the HLA BW17.
