Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I and II Variants in Yemeni Patients with Chronic Renal Failure
Background: Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are found to be significant genetic factors concerning the susceptibility of an individual to certain diseases. Objective: To determine the association between variants of class I (A and B) and class II (DRB1) HLA alleles and chronic renal failure (CRF), compared with healthy controls, in Yemen. Methods: A case-control study in the Urology and Nephrol...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Antigen Class II Alleles (DQB1 and DRB1) as Predictors for Response to Interferon Therapy in HCV Genotype 4
Human leukocyte antigens class II play an important role in immune response against HCV. We investigated whether HLA class II alleles influence susceptibility to HCV infection and response to interferon therapy. HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 loci were genotyped using PCR-SSO Luminex technology. According to our regimen, 41 (66%) of patients achieved sustained virological response to combined treatment of ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Human Leukocyte Antigen class II Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome: a Family Study
Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the patients may have dysfunctioning of immune defense mechanisms. Objective: To assess the associat...
متن کاملInfluence of human leukocyte antigen class II alleles on susceptibility to Entamoeba histolytica infection in Bangladeshi children.
BACKGROUND The association of antibody responses with both innate and acquired immunity to amebiasis indicate that CD4+ T cells play a role in protection against Entamoeba histolytica infection. To test this hypothesis, we compared the genotype frequencies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles in a cohort of Bangladeshi children intensively monitored for E. histolytica infection for...
