Abstract
The association of HLA with malignant lymphomas in 50 Chinese patients of the HAN nationality was investigated. The frequencies of antigens HLA-A and -C and the majority of HLA-B phenotypes were not significantly different between the patient and control groups, whereas the antigen frequency of HLA-B16 was increased significantly (P<0.025) in the patient group. The relative risk associated with HLA-B16 was 2.5694. The association of this antigen with malignant lymphoma might be unique for Oriental patients.
