HLA Class I and Class II Genes Distribution of the Sistanis in Iran
Background: The high polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes can be used as an identity of individuals to compare with other populations. This extreme polymorphism in the HLA system is accountable for the differences in alleles and haplotypes among ethnic groups, populations, and the inhabitants of many regions. Objective: To define the frequency of HLA alleles and haplotypes am...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA-Class I and HLA-Class II Alleles and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in Iraqi Patients from Baghdad City
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) is one of the endemic diseases in Iraq, and among the suggested predisposing factors are alleles of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. We sought to investigate the association between HLA-class I (A and B) and -class II (DR and DQ) alleles in a sample of PT Iraqi patients.Methods: lymphocytes of 105 PT patients and 40 controls were phenotyped for H...
متن کاملThe role of KIR genes and their cognate HLA class I ligands in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), via interaction with their cognate HLA class I ligands, play a crucial role in the development and activity of natural killer cells. Following recent reports of KIR gene associations in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we present a more in-depth investigation of KIR genes and their cognate HLA ligands on childhood ALL risk. Genotypi...
متن کاملULCERATIVE COLITIS AND HLA CLASS II PHENOTYPING IN IRAN
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a nonspecific acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease that diffusely involves the colonic mucosa. The etiology of UC has not yet been elucidated fully. However, many studies have found that immunologic disorders may play a role in the pathogenesis of UC. In addition, due to an increased frequency of UC in families, especially an increased monozygotic compared...
متن کاملHLA Class I and Class II Associations in Dengue Viral Infections in a Sri Lankan Population
BACKGROUND HLA class I and class II alleles have been shown to be associated with the development of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS) in different populations. However, the majority of studies have been based on limited numbers of patients. In this study we aimed to investigate the HLA-class I and class II alleles that are positively and negatively associated with the ...
