HLA-DR
H - Hashimoto
L - sLE
A - Addisons
D - Diabetes [2], Dermatitis herpetiformis
R - Rheumatoid Arthitis
HLA-B
P - Psoriasis
A - Ankylosing Spondylitis
I - Inflammatory bowel disease
R - Reiters syndrome
One more thing about HLAs - Class II MHC diseases are more common in women - so HLADRs are more common in women - whereas Class I MHC diaseases are more common in men - e.g. Ankylosing Spondylitis..

I know the PAIR one...
The HLA DR one is excellent.... but we have to know the difference between DR 1-5!!!
2 and 3 SLE... it rhymes!
