HLA typing in patients with selective IgA deficiency (SigAD) and in those with normal serum IgA (controls)

SigAD (n=23) (%) Control (n/total) (%) EF PF RR
B84 (17.4)70/174 (40.2)0.280.31
DR37-150 21 (91.3)130/270 (48.1)0.8311.31

DQW222 (95.7)217/272 (79.7)0.795.58
  • 7-150 SIgAD v control p < 0.002.

  • RR, relative risk; EF, aetiological fraction; PF, preventive fraction.
