Abstract
Frequencies of HL-A antigens, blood groups (ABO, Rh, MNSs, Kell, Lewis and Duffy), serm groups (Hp, Gc and C3) and red cell enzyme types (PGM<sub>1·</sub> 6-PGD and AK) were studied in a series of 122 psoriatic patients from northern Sweden. The increased frequency of the HL-A antigens W17 and HL-A13 found in previous investigations was confirmed. An association was found with the MNSs blood groups, Ss heterozygotes being strongly underrepresented among psoriatic patients. The frequencies of the blood type Le (a–b–) in the Lewis system and the A-factor in the ABO-system were found to be increased in proriasis. In the psoriatic patients a significant deficiency of heterozygotes was found in the Hp and C3 serum groups.
