Abstract
First International Symposium on Hla and Disease
Dates: 23–25 June, 1976.
Place: Paris, Palais des Congrès.
Chairmen: Dr. Jean Dausset and Arne Svejgaard.
Secretaries: L. Degos and J. Hors.
The association of HLA antigens with numerous diseases is now well documented. The clinical implications of these recent discoveries on nosology, diagnosis, prognosis and even prevention will be discussed by clinicians and biologists.
Several workshops (rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, allergy, immuno-pathology, endocrinology) will cover the different facets of this new approach to epidemiology and hereditary diseases. The possible mechanisms and biological significance of association will be considered by geneticists, virologists, and immunologists.
Proceedings of the Symposium will be published by Munksgaard (Copenhagen) in a book covering the fundamental as well as the clinical aspects of these associations.
