HLA-DR4 and career prospects in rheumatology: is there a link?

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether HLA type is associated with career progress in rheumatology. DESIGN: Comparison of HLA type after HLA analysis of samples of venous blood. SETTING: Department of Rheumatology Research, University of Birmingham. SUBJECTS: All (37) staff in the department. RESULTS: All the senior academics and most staff with a PhD expressed HLA-DR4. The prevalence of expression in each of these groups was significantly greater than that found in the controls. None of the junior doctors or secretaries expressed DR4. CONCLUSION: The junior doctors in the department have poor career prospects as HLA-DR4 seems to be associated with academic achievement.
