Abstract

The HLA genotypes of six patients with acute grade I slipped capital femoral epiphysis as determined by microlymphocytotoxic technique revealed HLA-DR4 as their phenotypes. These results contradict the previously reported HLA-B12 as the phenotype of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
