Synopsis: 
A cross-sectional study in which DNA HLA typing methods were used to investigate the associations between HLA and class II alleles and the presence of systemic lupus erythematosus and antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in Jamaicans. The HLA associations with ANA were similar to those found in other ethnic groups, but no significant positive HLA association with SLE was found.

was investigated in Jamaican patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
