Human leukocyte antigens among primary biliary cirrhosis patients born in Mexico.
BACKGROUND AND AIM Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease of autoimmune origin and has a genetic component. Although it has been reported that the prevalence of the HLA-DRB1*08 allele is high in various populations, the prevalence of HLA alleles in Mexican PBC patients has not been described. The aim of this study was to quantify the prevalence of HLA-B/-DR alleles in ...
متن کاملHLA-DR antigens in primary biliary cirrhosis: lack of association.
A study of HLA-DR antigen in 75 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis has been carried out in order to test the hypothesis that genetic factors related to genes controlling immune responses might be important in the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis. The frequencies of HLA-DR locus antigens was not significantly different from those in 200 normal controls, nor were those of tissue ant...
متن کاملHistocompatibility antigens in active chronic hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.
The frequency of antigens HL-A 1 (48%) and HL-A 8 (52%) in 54 patients with active chronic hepatitis from south-east England was significantly higher than in 89 control subjects from the same region (22% and 17% respectively). No correlation could be detected with the age and sex of the patients or with the presence of a particular immunological abnormality but the frequency of HL-A 1 and HL-A ...
متن کاملPulmonary Manifestations among Patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease caused by diffuse inflammation, destruction and fibrosis of the intrahepatic bile ducts, ultimately leading to cirrhosis, portal hypertension and liver failure. The pathogenesis of PBC is incompletely understood, but current data suggest roles for genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. PBC is often tho...
متن کاملPrimary biliary cirrhosis-specific autoantibodies in first degree relatives of Greek primary biliary cirrhosis patients.
AIM To determine the prevalence and significance of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific autoantibodies in first-degree relatives (FDRs) of Greek PBC patients. METHODS The presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were determined using indirect immunofluorescence assays, dot-blot assays, and molecularly based enzyme-linked immunosorbent a...
