In order to complete the data on human 21-Hydroxylase deficiency, we present a study on HLA markers in 35 Italian families (14 from Northern, eight from Central and 13 from Southern Italy) with one affected child. Three children from the issue of first cousin marriages were homozygous for the whole HLA haplotype. Extended haplotypes shared by unrelated patients were not found, and a total absence of the HLA Bw47 allele among the haplotypes carrying the disease as well as normal haplotypes was observed. The absence of A1 Cw7 B8 BfS C4AQ0 C4B1 DR3 extended haplotype was instead confirmed. Allele frequencies in the different clinical forms were analyzed: BfSO7 allele frequency was significantly increased on haplotypes of the salt-wasting form (p less than 0.01). We noticed two duplications (C4B1-2) of C4B genes, on haplotypes involved in the disease. Allele distribution in the regions studied showed that Bw22 (w55), Cw3 and DR2 were characteristic of Northern patients, while B15 was found in patients from Central Italy.

HLA associations with 21-OH deficiency were studied on respectively 109 and 60 congenital and late onset French index cases. Significant negative associations were found with antigens B8: congenital forms; B5, DR3: late onset. Significant positive associations were observed with A3, Bw47 (A3 Cw6 Bw47 DR7): congenital forms; B40: salt-wasting form; B5: simple virilizing form; Aw33, B14, DR1, DR2, DRw6 (Aw33 B14 DR1): late onset form. Among late onset patients not bearing B14 antigens significant positive associations were observed with B12 and B35.
