[Erythrocyte magnesium and HLA groups].

Red blood cell Magnesium levels were determined in 351 unrelated male subjects with known HLA groups. Significantly lower values are observed among subjects carrying BW 35 allele. Furthermore, significant variations are also noted according to the constitution of HLA-B groups with respect to BW 4 and BW 6 public specificities. This observation brings to light other variations among the subjects carrying B 8 allele.
