The distribution of the recently described HLA‐DP antigens was examined in a population of patients with pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and iridocyclitis, in an attempt to further characterize the immunogenetically determined susceptibility to this disease. There was a significantly increased frequency of the HLA‐DPw2 antigen in the patients compared with the controls (67% versus 34%; odds ratio 3.9,P= 0.003 by Fisher's exact test). Population studies and family studies showed that this association with HLA‐DPw2 was not secondary to linkage disequilibrium with the previously defined HLA‐D region markers of disease (HLA‐DR5 and HLA‐DRw8) in these patients. These data raise the possibility that susceptibility to this form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may be regulated by more than one HLA‐linked gene.
