HLA antigens in multiple sclerosis of northern Spanish population.
نویسندگان
چکیده
HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ antigens were studied in 43 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with clinically definite remittent sclerosis from Asturias (North Spain). The prevalence of HLA-B7, B7 and B27 were significantly increased in MS. HLA-B35 was under-represented in these patients. DR2 was increased but not significantly. No association with DQw1 was discovered. The existence of several susceptibility factors in the more common B7/DR2/DQw1 haplotype is discussed.

The Turkmans are one of the Iranian ethnic population. HLA typing (class I and II) was performed in this population. The data obtained from this study was compared with different populations of the world. We observed that the Turkman population is most similar to the Northern chinese and Uigur population. The distributions of HLA antigens in Turkmans are somewhat between Iranian population, Nor...
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 کاملEthnic and HLA patterns related to multiple sclerosis in Wellington, New Zealand.
A recent survey revealed 237 cases of multiple sclerosis in Wellington, New Zealand, giving an overall prevalence of 69 cases per 100,000. Two hundred and thirty-five were European with one Asian and only one Maori, confirming the rarity of the disease in Maoris. HLA A3, B7 and DR2 antigens were more frequent in multiple sclerosis patients compared with European controls. The same antigens were...
متن کاملNo apparent association between HLA and multiple sclerosis in southern Chinese.
HLA-A, -B and -DR antigens have been studied in 34 Chinese patients with multiple sclerosis and 100 normal healthy controls. Unlike patients of other ethnic groups in whom multiple sclerosis is associated with HLA-DR2, there was no obvious association with any HLA antigen in the Chinese patients, although the overall distribution of antigens did not appear typical of the southern Chinese popula...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The main cause of the MS is yet to be revealed, but the most probable theory is based on the molecular mimicry that concludes some infections in the activation of T cells against brain auto-antigens that initiate the disease cascade.Objectives: The Purpose of this research is the...
