Abstract | The aim of this study was to investigate the linkage between HLA and fissured tongue. Sixty- nine individuals with fissured tongue and 125 healthy volunteers were typed for HLA-DRB1*. The results showed increased frequency of HLA-DRB1*08 (P < 0.001), HLA-DRB1*14 (P < 0.01), HLA-DRB1*11 (P < 0.05) and HLA-DRB1*16 (P < 0.05), while HLA-DRB1*03 and HLA-DRB1*07 frequency was decreased (P < 0.05). |
