No apparent association between HLA and multiple sclerosis in southern Chinese.

چکیده
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 population from which the patients were drawn.

Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the association between human leukocyte antigen Cw (HLA-Cw) polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Chinese Han patients in the Jiangsu area (Southern China).Materials and Methods: Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers were used to detect HLA-Cw01–08 of 201 RA patients an...
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...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating neuro- inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Genetic predisposition has long been suspected in the etiology of this disease. The association between MTHFR polymorphisms and MS has been ivestigated in different ethnic groups. We investigated the association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C missense variants and MS in 180 patients ...

Background: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular junction characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. Different genes may control the induction and clinical presentation of this disease. Various HLA alleles are reported as predisposing or protective genetic elements in myasthenia gravis. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the probable as...
متن کاملInvestigation of FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIA Polymorphism in Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Control Study
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the most common demyelinating disease of the CNS, is immunologically mediated in genetically susceptible individuals. Receptors for the Fc fragment of IgG (FcγR) might induce inflammatory responses through linking the humoral and cellular immune responses by targeting immune complexes to effector cells. Polymorphisms in some FcγR genes are associated with va...
