HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and TAP genes in familial Hodgkin disease.

چکیده
The HLA region has long been implicated in sporadic and familial Hodgkin disease (HD), with recent case-control studies suggesting that HLA class II loci predispose to sporadic nodular sclerosis HD (NSHD). To determine whether this predisposition extends to familial HD, HLA class II loci (DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, DRB3, DRB4, and DRB5) and transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) loci (TAP1, TAP2) were investigated in 100 members of 16 families with at least 2 confirmed cases of HD. With the use of the transmission disequilibrium test, evidence for linkage disequilibrium with familial HD and, in particular, familial NSHD was obtained for the DRB1*1501-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 haplotype, the TAP1 allele encoding Ile at residue 333, and the DRB5-0101 allele. These 3 markers were in linkage disequilibrium and may not represent independent susceptibility regions. Use of a family-based approach excludes population stratification as an explanation for these findings.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Three missense mutations clustered on the carboxyl-terminal portion of the MEFV gene (M680I, M694V, and V726A) have been observed in over 80% of affected alleles in several ethnic groups of familial Mediterranean fever patients. Several immunologic abnormalities were found both in cellular and humoral components in Mediterranean fever patients. Those observations have pointed th...
