Long-term immunogenetic studies on HLA and GLOI systems in the families of probands with classic 21-hydroxylase related adrenal hyperplasia served as a basis for a complex analysis. The analyzed factors included the phenotype and haplotype incidence, HLA-ABC homozygosity, and -in informational families-the strength of genetic linkage for recombinant fractions (lod score). The results suggest the usefulness of routine determinations of class I HLA antigens in families of patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
