Abstract
The frequency of HLA class II (DR and DQ) antigens is analyzed in 113 subjects affected by coeliac disease, nineteen of them suffering from recurrent aphthous stomatitis. A significant association was found between DRw10 and DQw1 HLA antigens and the two diseases in the 19 subjects suffering from both diseases.
