Abstract

HLA status was assessed in matched groups of schizophrenics, 20 with and 20 without tardive dyskinesia. The antigen frequencies were also compared with that in a control sample. The anticipated excess of HLA-B44 was not confirmed. Pooled data displayed a shortfall of HLA-Cw7 and an excess of HLA-B44 in schizophrenics relative to population controls.
