Major histocompatibility complex harbors widespread genotypic variability of non-additive risk of rheumatoid arthritis including epistasis
Genotypic variability based genome-wide association studies (vGWASs) can identify potentially interacting loci without prior knowledge of the interacting factors. We report a two-stage approach to make vGWAS applicable to diseases: firstly using a mixed model approach to partition dichotomous phenotypes into additive risk and non-additive environmental residuals on the liability scale and secon...
متن کاملConditional analysis of the major histocompatibility complex in rheumatoid arthritis
We performed a whole-genome association study of rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility using Illumina 550k single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes of 868 cases and 1194 controls from the North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium (NARAC). Structured association analysis with adjustment for potential population stratification yielded 200 SNPs with p < 1 x 10-8 for association with RA, a...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex Class I–Recognizing Receptors Are Disease Risk Genes in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous syndrome of which a subset of patients develops vascular inflammation. The genetic determinants that confer risk for rheumatoid vasculitis are not known, but patients with vascular complications are known to have an expansion of CD4(+)CD28(null) T cells, a cell population potentially involved in endothelial damage. CD4(+)CD28(null) T cell clones isol...
متن کاملPatients with rheumatoid arthritis and gold-induced pneumonitis express two high-risk major histocompatibility complex patterns.
Gold salt therapy-induced pneumonitis is a rare complication in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We studied HLA-A, B, C, D/DR, and complement factor B (Bf) and C4 alleles in 17 patients with RA and gold-induced pneumonitis and found that these patients had strikingly homogeneous major histocompatibility complex (MHC) markers. Eight of them (47 percent) had the alleles HLA-A3 B35 Dwl BfF...
متن کاملMajor histocompatibility complex associations of ankylosing spondylitis are complex and involve further epistasis with ERAP1
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common, highly heritable, inflammatory arthritis for which HLA-B*27 is the major genetic risk factor, although its role in the aetiology of AS remains elusive. To better understand the genetic basis of the MHC susceptibility loci, we genotyped 7,264 MHC SNPs in 22,647 AS cases and controls of European descent. We impute SNPs, classical HLA alleles and amino-acid...
