In a study on 43 patients suffering from Paget's disease the authors grouped them within the HL-A histo-compatibility system. Twenty-nine antigens in this system were investigated. Comparison with the distribution in the population of France did not show a significant difference. Nevertheless, there appeared to be a greater frequency of the HL-A 5 and perhaps of W 22 antigens in patients suffering from generalized Paget's disease.
