Abstract:
The authors presented a family whose 4 siblings had been suffered from oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy of autoscmal recessive trend, with symptoms of progressive ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, dysarthria, dysphagia and facial muscle atrophy, and we performed HLA study on these 9 family members which showed no interrelationship between oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy and HLA Haplotypes.
