Abstract
Patients with Eales' disease, chorioretinitis, central serous retinopathy, or malignant choroidal melanoma were tested for HLA antigen deviation. When corrected p values (pc) are used, the first three disorders did not show any significant deviation, whereas a significant increase of HLA-Aw32 (pc = 0.026) was found in the malignant melanoma group. For conclusive evidence the latter finding needs confirmation by analysis of a greater number of patients with this disorder.
