“…or G.C.A. than in controls, several studies reported both that there was an association of these diseases with some HLA-A, -B antigens (Sanford & Berney 1977, Seignalet et al 1977, Kemp et al 1980 and that there was no association with them (Hunder et al 1977, Malmvall et al 1980. So, if the correlation of these diseases with one or more HLA-A, -B antigens remains uncertain, we have previously reported (Barrier et a1 1981) the increased prevalence of HLA-DR4 in 48 patients with well defined G.C.A.…”

We reported the data of HLA‐DR frequencies in a new series of 40 unrelated patients suffering from giant cells arteritis (Horton's disease). As previously reported by us, a large increase of HLA‐DR4 antigen frequency is noted in patients compared with 146 healthy controls. Moreover, gathering together these 40 patients with the 48 other patients of our first published data, increase of the DR4 frequency is largely confirmed with a PC < 0.001.

We have studied the epidemiologv of giant cell arteritis (GCA) m an urban population in south central United States. The incidence of GCA in Shelby County, Tennessee for the years 1971 through 1980 was determined for the total population and for age-, sex-, and race-specific groups. Over this period 26 cases were identified. The average annual incidence was 0.35/100,000. This was increased to 1.58/100,000 for those over the age of 50. The incidence was 7 times greater in whites than in blacks and 7 times greater in females than in males. Clinical and laboratory features of the patients were reviewed and found to be similar to those in other populations. GCA is considerably less frequent in Shelby County, Tennessee than in other areas where similar epidemiologic studies have been performed. This difference can be accounted for only in part by racial distributions. Similar studies in southern geographic areas are needed to place our findings in perspective and point to specific factors which may have etiologic significance in GCA.From the Departments of Medicine and Pathology, University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences (UTCHS), Memphis.
