Abstract
Since 1973 a number of studies have been conducted on the association of HLA with myasthenia gravis (MG). (Safwenberg et al. 1973, Fritze et al. 1973, Naeim et al. 1978, Bodmer & Bodmer 1978, Behan 1980). Most of these studies involved Caucasians. In this paper we report on a study carried out in Chinese patients with M.G.Keywords
