    abstract = "The HLA A and B types of 20 Greek patients with thromboangiitis
obliterans (TAO) were studied and compared with a panel of 400 controls.
A non-statistically significant increase in the frequencies of HLA B5,
B7 and A9 antigens was found.  These antigens were found to be
associated with a relative risk of 3.47, 3.24 and 2.07 respectively. 
These findings are partially in agreement with those of a joint
English-Swiss study which also found a negative association with B12
antigens; in the Greek population, also of European origin, a negative
association was observed with the B8 antigen."
