Frequency of HLA-B27 Haplotype Among Patients with Acute Anterior Uveitis and Controls in Ethiopia

The antigen HLA-B27 was represented ~10-fold more frequently in the patient group than in the control group. HLA-B27 allele distribution in both cases and controls is lower than in reports from Caucasian and Asian populations, but similar to South Africa.

Abstract

The antigen HLA-B27 was represented ~10-fold more frequently in the patient group than in the control group. HLA-B27 allele distribution in both cases and controls is lower than in reports from Caucasian and Asian populations, but similar to South Africa.
