HLA-B18 Antigen

A specific HLA-B surface antigen subtype. Members of this subtype contain alpha chains that are encoded by the HLA-B*18 allele family.

Also Known As:

HLA B18; HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, B-18 alpha Chain; HLA-B18; Antigen, HLA-B18; HLA B18 Antigen; HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, B 18 alpha Chain

1.	Disease Progression 01/01/1984 - "A study of HLA antigens in 55 patients with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis yielded the results which suggest that the risk of the development of lateral amyotrophic sclerosis is associated with HLA B18 antigen, while the character of the disease progression is related to HLA B27 and BW35 antigens. "
2.	Sclerosis 01/01/1984 - "A study of HLA antigens in 55 patients with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis yielded the results which suggest that the risk of the development of lateral amyotrophic sclerosis is associated with HLA B18 antigen, while the character of the disease progression is related to HLA B27 and BW35 antigens. "
3.	Multiple Myeloma 08/01/2002 - "This study suggests that although genetic factors may play a role in the multifactorial aetiology of multiple myeloma, with the exception of HLA B18, there is no specific association between HLA types and multiple myeloma in South African blacks."
4.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 07/01/1984 - "A study of the frequencies of various HLA-B antigens in both groups of patients, in regard to a control group of piemontese population, in relation to the intensity of association (relative risk) and to the statistical importance of frequencies, shows only a possible protective effect of the HLA-B18 phenotype (linkage disequilibrium with HLA - DR3) towards the production of anti-insulin antibodies and hyperimmune clinical manifestations, such as allergy. "
5.	Alopecia Areata 07/01/1981 - "A study of 46 patients with Alopecia areata in Jerusalem showed a significant increase in the frequency of HLA-B18 (23.9%) as compared to the control population (7.4%) with a relative risk of 3.9%. " 07/01/1981 - "This association of HLA-B18 with AA was independent of the origin of patients, sex, age of onset and type of alopecia areata."
