Association of an HLA-DQ allele with clinical tuberculosis.
CONTEXT Although tuberculosis (TB) is the leading worldwide cause of death due to an infectious disease, the extent to which progressive clinical disease is associated with genetic host factors remains undefined. OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of HLA antigens and the frequency of 2 alleles of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) gene in unrelated individuals with clinical TB (...
متن کاملHLA-DQ association and allele competition in Chinese narcolepsy.
In Japanese, Koreans and Caucasians, narcolepsy/hypocretin deficiency is tightly associated with the DRB1*15:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*06:02 haplotype. Studies in African-Americans suggest a primary effect of DQB1*06:02, but this observation has been difficult to confirm in other populations because of high linkage disequilibrium between DRB1*15:01/3 and DQB1*06:02 in most populations. In this study, ...
متن کاملAssociation of KIR3DS1+HLA-B Bw4Ile80 Combination with Susceptibility to Tuberculosis in Lur Population of Iran
Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are the effector cells of innate immunity that respond to infection and tumor. Interactions between killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules regulate NK cells responses to eliminate infected and transformed cells. Objective: To investigate the impact of KIR genes, HLA ligand genes, and KIR-HLA combi...
متن کاملHLA-B27 Association with Uveitis in an Asian Indian Population
Background: Uveitis refers to diseases characterized by intraocular inflammation of the uveal tract. Anterior uveitis is a common ocular disease characterized by inflammation of the iris and the ciliary body. Objectives: To establish the frequency of HLA-B27- positive uveitis in Asian Indian population, study their clinical profile and compare it with other reports in literature. Methods: We re...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA-DQ genotypes and haplotypes vs Helicobacter pylori infection in an Indonesian population.
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is an important gastrointestinal pathogen related to the development of not only atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer, but also gastric cancer. Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) may play particular roles in host immune responses to bacterial antigens. This study aimed to investigate the association between HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 genotypes and haplotypes vs H. pylori infect...
