The relation between HLA-DQA1 genes and genetic susceptibility to duodenal ulcer in Wuhan Hans

AIM To study the genetic susceptibility of HLA-DQA1 alleles to duodenal ulcer in Wuhan Hans.METHODS Seventy patients with duodenal ulcer and fifty healthy controls were examined for HLA-DQA1 genotypes. HLA-DQA1 typing was carried out by digesting the locus specific polymerase chain reaction amplified products with alleles specific restriction enzymes (PCR-RFLP), i.e., Apal Ⅰ, Bsaj Ⅰ, Hph Ⅰ, Fok Ⅰ,Mbo Ⅱ and Mnl Ⅰ.RESULTS The allele frequencies of DQA1 * 0301 and DQA1* 0102 in patients with duodenal ulcer were significantly higher and lower respectively than those in healthy controls (0.40 vs 0.20,P=0.003, Pcorret = 0.024) and (0.05 vs 0.14,P= 0.012, but Pcorret ＞0.05), respectively.CONCLUSION DQA1* 0301 is a susceptible gene for duodenal ulcer in Wuhan Hans, and there are immunogenetic differences in HLA-DQA1 locus between duodenal ulcer patients and healthy controls.     

DR- and DQ-associated protection from type 1A diabetes: comparison of DRB1*1401 and DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602*

The transmission disequilibrium test was used to analyze haplotypes for association and linkage to diabetes within families from the Human Biological Data Interchange type 1 diabetes repository (n = 1371 subjects) and from the Norwegian Type 1 Diabetes Simplex Families study (n = 2441 subjects). DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 was transmitted to 2 of 313 (0.6%) affected offspring (P < 0.001, vs. the expected 50% transmission). Protection was associated with the DQ alleles rather than DRB1*1501 in linkage disequilibrium with DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602: rare DRB1*1501 haplotypes without DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 were transmitted to 5 of 11 affected offspring, whereas DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 was transmitted to 2 of 313 affected offspring (P < 0.0001). Rare DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 haplotypes without DRB1*1501 were never transmitted to affected offspring (n = 6). The DQA1*0101-DQB1*0503 haplotype was transmitted to 2 of 42 (4.8%) affected offspring (P < 0.001, vs. 50% expected transmission). Although DRB1*1401 is in linkage disequilibrium with DQB1*0503, neither of the two affected children who carried DQA1*0101-DQB1*0503 had DRB1*1401. However, all 13 nonaffected children who inherited DQA1*0101-DQB1*0503 had DRB1*1401. In a case-control comparison of patients from the Barbara Davis Center, DQA1*0101-DQB1*0503 was found in 5 of 110 (4.5%) controls compared with 3 of 728 (0.4%) patients (P < 0.005). Of the three patients with DQB1*0503, only one had DRB1*1401. Our data suggest that both DR and DQ molecules (the DRB1*1401 and DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 alleles) can provide protection from type 1A diabetes.     

The association of HLA-DRB, DQA1, DQB1 alleles and haplotype frequency in Iranian patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate HLA-DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 allelic polymorphism in Iranian patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). METHODS: Forty patients with smear-positive PTB and 100 healthy individuals as a control group were studied for MHC class II allelic polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The primer was supplied by biotest in the standard kit. DRB low resolution SSP and DQA, DQB intermediate resolution SSP was applied. RESULTS: The comparison of the patients and the control group showed a significant increase in the frequency of the HLA-DRB1*07 and DQA1*0101 alleles (OR 2.7, 95%CI 1.19-6.13, P = 0.025 and OR 2.66, 95%CI 1.15-6.44, P = 0.04, respectively) in the patient group. The frequency of DQA1*0301 and DQA1*0501 was also significantly decreased (OR 0.254, 95%CI 0.075-0.865, P = 0.033 and OR 0.53, 95%CI 0.3-0.95, P = 0.045, respectively) in the PTB patients. Concerning haplotype frequency, DRB1*11501, QDQA1*0103 and DQB1*0601 were increased, but this difference was not statistically significant. In the DQB1 locus, DQB1*0501 was non-significantly over-represented. CONCLUSIONS: HLA-DRB1*07 and HLA-DQA1*0101 appeared to be the predisposing alleles and HLA-DQA1*0301 and 0501 the protective alleles in our patients with TB.     

HLA-DQA1*0101 haplotypes and disease outcome in early onset pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

To further investigate a clinical impression that patients with early onset pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (EOPA-JRA) who carry HLA-DQw1 have more severe arthritis, we subtyped HLA-DQw1 in American midwestern patients with EOPA-JRA. The HLA-DQA1*0101 subtype was present in 10 of 19 patients who developed persistent polyarticular erosive disease compared with 18 of 92 healthy controls (chi 2 = 9.13, p = 0.003, RR = 4.6), and occurred more frequently in this polyarticular group than in patients without polyarticular erosive disease (chi 2 = 4.11, p = 0.040, RR = 3.0). The presence of HLA-DQA1*0101 was significantly lower in patients with chronic iridocyclitis than in patients without chronic iridocyclitis (chi 2 = 7.07, p = 0.008, RR = 0.21). In HLA-DQA1*0101 positive patients, DNA sequences of the beta-1 domain of the HLA-DQ alpha and HLA-DQ beta genes (HLA-DQA1*0101, HLA-DQB1*0501 and HLA-DQB1*0503) were identical to those in controls. In this midwestern EOPA-JRA population, HLA-DQA1*0101 or genes in linkage disequilibrium with it, are associated with a cohort of patients with EOPA-JRA with distinct clinical characteristics.     

HLA-DQA1 genotyping in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Taiwan

To investigate the role of HLA-DQA1 genotypes and their interaction with HLA-DRB1 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Taiwan, HLA-DQA1 was determined in 71 patients with RA and 108 healthy controls by SSP-PCR method. HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQA1 were simultaneously detected in 55 RA patients and 101 healthy controls. PCR/SSOP method was used to determine the HLA-DRB1 genotypes, and the subtypes of HLA-DR4 were determined by cloning and sequencing. The phenotypic frequency of HLA-DQA1*0301 was significantly lower in RA than in controls, and, in contrast, the HLA-DQA1*0302 and DQA1*0303 were significantly higher in RA than in controls. The associations of DQA1*0301, *0302, and *0303 with RA were independent of DR4 and DRB1*0405. Moreover, the interactions between HLA-DR4 and HLA-DQA1*0302 or DQA1*0303 could enhance the development of RA. We also found that the prevalence of bone erosion and seropositivity of rheumatoid factor (RF) were significantly higher in HLA-DQA1*0303 positive RA patients than in healthy controls. HLA-DQA1*0302 and DQA1*0303 are the risk factors for susceptibility to RA, while HLA-DQA1*0301 is a protective factor. A synergistic effect for the susceptibility to RA can be found between HLA-DR4 and HLA-DQA1*0302 or DQA1*0303. We also found that the HLA-DQA1*0303 was related to bone erosion and seropositivity of RF in RA patients.     

Association of HLA-DQA1*0101/2 and DQB1*0502 with Myasthenia Gravis in Southern Iranian Patients

Background: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular junction characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. Different genes may control the induction and clinical presentation of this disease. Various HLA alleles are reported as predisposing or protective genetic elements in myasthenia gravis. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the probable association between HLA-DQ alleles and myasthenia gravis in southern Iranian patients. Methods: HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 alleles were determined in 104 sporadic patients with myasthenia gravis using polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism method and the results were compared to 816 healthy controls. Results: HLA-DQA1*0101/2 (39.4%) and DQB1*0502 (21.6%) were the most frequent alleles in southern Iranian patients with myasthenia gravis. These alleles revealed positive associations with the disease with relative risks of 1.69 and 2.41, respectively. The most common haplotype was DQA1*0101/2-DQB1*0502 in these patients. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, DQA1*0101/2 and DQB1*0502 alleles might be considered as predisposing genetic factors to myasthenia gravis while DQA1*0501, DQB1*0301 and *0602/3 show protective roles against this disease.

Association between HLA class Ⅱ gene and susceptibility or resistance to chronic hepatitis B

AIM: To investigate the association between the polymorphism of HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles and viral hepatitis B. METHODS: HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles in 54 patients with chronic hepatitis B, 30 patients with acute hepatitis B and 106 normal control subjects were analyzed by using the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer (PCR/SSP) technique. RESULTS: The allele frequency of HLA-DRB1*0301 in the chronic hepatitis B group was markedly higher than that in the normal control group (17.31% vs 5.67 %), there was a significant correlation between them (X^2= 12.3068,PC=0.0074, RR=4.15). The allele frequency of HLA-DQAI*0501 in the chronic hepatitis B group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (25.96 % vs 13.68 %), there was a significant correlation between them (X^2=9.2002, PC=0.0157, RR=2.87). The allele frequency of HLA-DQBI*0301 in the chronic hepatitis B group was notably higher than that in the normal control group (35.58 % vs 18.87 %), there was a significant correlation between them (x^2=15.5938, PC=0.0075, RR=4.07). The allele frequency of HLA-DRB1*1101/1104 in the chronic hepatitis B group was obviously lower than that in the normal control group (0.96 % vs 13.33 %), there was a significant correlation between them (X^2=11.9206, PC=0.0145, RR=18.55). The allele frequency of HLA-DQAI*0301 in the chronic hepatitis B group was remarkably lower than that in the normal control group (14.42 % vs30 %), there was a significant correlation between them (X^2=8.7396, PC=0.0167, RR=0.35). CONCLUSION: HLA-DRBI*0301, HLA-DQAI*0501 and HLA-DQBI*0301 are closely related with susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B, and HLA-DRB1*1101/1104 and HLA-DQAI*0301 are closely related with resistance to chronic hepatitis B. These findings suggest that host HLA class Ⅱ gene is an important factor determining the outcome of HBV infection.
