Imunogenetic analysis of eleven members of the family. Siblings III-7, III-8, III-9 and III-11 affected with CG (arrows) and the youngest brother without CG (III-10) share the same MHC haplotype inherited from the mother (A24, B14, DR1, DQA1*0101, DQB1*0501). Patients III-7 and III-8 also have systemic erythematosus-like disease (SLE-like) and they share the A74, B8, DR1, DQA1*0101, DQB 1*0501 haplotype. The individual II-6 (mother's sister) has rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
