PG - 877-82 AB - To determine whether hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotype, we tissue-typed 70 unrelated afflicted patients and 86 of their asymptomatic family members (from nine separate kindreds). Forty-five per cent of the white patients had B-12 antigen as compared to 23 per cent in matched control subjects; 69 per cent of black patients had a B-5-complex antigen as compared to 33 per cent in matched controls. Patients with a B-12 or B-5-complex antigen were nonhypertensive and had family members with the disease. Patients without these antigens were severely hypertensive and had no affected family members. Linkage analysis of six families revealed a lod score of 7.7 for asymmetric septal hypertrophy and the HLA region of chromosome 6. We conclude that there is a heritable, nonhypertensive form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy linked to the HLA loci on chromosome 6 and that a sporadic form is associated with severe, systemic hypertension.
