✦ Synopsis
The study of the relationship between HLA antigens and scleroderma shows an increase of antigens HLA A9 and DR3 in patients with a relative risk of 12.18 if both antigens are present in the same patient.
The presence of HLA A 9 or DR 3 is neither related to organ involvement nor to immunologic changes.
