Forty‐four patients with inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis (22 with Landry‐Guillain‐Barré syndrome, 6 with subacute polyneuritis, and 16 with chronic relapsing polyneuritis) were typed for genetic markers in and around the HLA region of chromosome 6. Patients with chronic relapsing polyneuritis showed a definite association with HLA‐AW30 and AW31 and probable associations with HLA‐B8, HLA‐DW3, and glyoxalase I. No significant associations were demonstrated with the Landry‐Guillain‐Barré syndrome although an increase in glyoxalase I was significant if combined with the results of typing in chronic relapsing polyneuritis. The total patient group showed significant increases in HLA‐AW30, HLA‐AW31, and HLA‐DW3. The results support the view that HLA‐linked genetic factors influence susceptibility to chronic relapsing polyneuritis and may contribute to the differences in clinical patterns observed in inflammatory demyelination of the peripheral nervous system.
