Abstract 

We have used the term supratype to describe combinations of alleles and have examined associations with disease. In RA and insulin-dependent diabetes one or more supratypes appear to be important but their functional significance remains obscure. In MG and SLE the HLA supratype may contain loci involved in immunoregulation, complement synthesis and hormone metabolism. MG induced by D-Pen is associated with Bw35/DR1 rather than A1, B8, DR3. In contrast there is no evidence of a supratype in AS. We have proposed a model for the pathogenesis of sacroiliitis and AS and have postulated two non-linked genes which act stepwise upon HLA-B27. There are cogent reasons for examining the functional effects of known loci within the MHC and particularly those involved in the expression of complement components.
