Abstract
To test the hypothesis that there may be inherited predisposition in acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, HLA typing was undertaken in two cousins with recurrent disease. Both cousins were shown to have HLA antigens DR2 but not B7; both antigens have been associated with this disorder previously. This finding is compatible with the concept that DR2 may be associated with an increased risk of recurrent disease.
