A genetic and anthropometric study tested the presence of associations between the alleles or the genotypes at the A, B, and C loci of the HLA system and percent body fat, subcutaneous fat, and fat distribution in 1578 volunteers 705 adults (mean age, 43.2) and 873 children and adolescents (mean age, 14.6) of both sexes who lacked metabolic disorders and who were not grossly obese. The results did not support earlier reports of an association between high fat content and antigens B18, Bw35, or Cw4; no consistent pattern of association was present between alleles or genotypes of the HLA system and percent body fat, subcutaneous fat, or fat distribution.(wz)
