Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare form of uveitis. Previously, the authors had demonstrated a strong association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1*0102 with TINU. Here, the authors performed HLA analysis on subjects with isolated bilateral sudden-onset uveitis (as in the TINU subtype) or with isolated tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN).
