Synopsis

HLA types studied in 113 patients with manic-depressive psychosis did not confirm the previously suggested association with HLA Bw16. No difference was found between unipolar and bipolar manifestations. A possible excess of A10 in patients is of interest, since this antigen binds with psychotropic drugs.
