Histocompatibility antigens (HLA) in multiple sclerosis in Iran.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thirty-five patients (19 male and 16 female) with clinically definite multiple sclerosis and 100 healthy control subjects were studied for the A and B locus of the HLA system. A significant increase of HLA A3 and A11 of the A locus and B7 of the B locus was observed in patients with multiple sclerosis compared with controls. An increase of antigen A3 was also observed in eight cases of probable multiple sclerosis. A significant increase of both A3 and B7 was observed in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 550 people in Immunogenetics Research Center af...
متن کاملHla Profile and Clinical Presentation of Multiple Sclerosis in Iran
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, with unknown etiology in which both genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system provides a set of genetic markers which lend themselves to systematic study. In Iran, HLA-A24, HLA-DR2, and HLADR15 are significantly increased in MS patients. The disease also...

Histocompatibility testing was performed in 48 multiple sclerosis patients and two carefully matched control groups in Orkney Islands, an area of high multiple sclerosis prevalence. The frequency of HLA-A3, HLA-B7, and DW2 was comparable in patients and controls. However, HLA-B7 was significantly more common in female patients compared with male patients. A B-cell alloantigen (B-cell 4) was als...
متن کاملCombination of Myelin Basic Protein Gene Polymorphisms with HLA-DRB1*1501 in Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a multifactorial autoimmune disease with complex genetic basis, causes demyelination in the central nervous system via cytokine responses to myelin antigens. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the main protein component of the myelin sheath. HLA-DRB (human leukocyte antigen-DR beta) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1501, may be of significance in the pathogenesi...
متن کاملHLA antigens in multiple sclerosis amongst Indians.
The infrequency of multiple sclerosis in India may have genetic implications. We found (a) the HLA-A3 and HLA-B7 haplotypes amongst Indians to be lower than those reported in Caucasians, (b) no excess of HLA-A3 and HLA-B7 amongst our 27 multiple sclerosis patients compared to 330 controls; instead it was the reverse, (c) HLA-B12 as high as 74% in the "clinically definite" cases, against only 9%...
