Evidence for a primary association of celiac disease to a particular HLA-DQ alpha/beta heterodimer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Typing of DNA from 94 unrelated children with celiac disease (CD) with HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 allele-specific oligonucleotide probes revealed that all but one (i.e., 98.9%) may share a particular combination of a DQA1 and a DQB1 gene. These genes are arranged in cis position on the DR3DQw2 haplotype and in trans position in DR5DQw7/DR7DQw2 heterozygous individuals. Thus, most CD patients may share the same cis- or trans-encoded HLA-DQ alpha/beta heterodimer.

Celiac disease (CD) is most probably an immunological disease, precipitated in susceptible individuals by ingestion of wheat gliadin and related proteins from other cereals. The disease shows a strong human HLA association predominantly to the cis or trans encoded HLA-DQ(alpha 1*0501,beta 1*0201) (DQ2) heterodimer. T cell recognition of gliadin presented by this DQ heterodimer may thus be of im...
متن کاملCeliac Disease
Celiac disease also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy is characterized by intestinal mucosal damage and malabsorption from dietary intake of wheat, rye or barley. Symptoms may appear with introduction of cereal in the first 3 years of life. A second peak in symptoms occurs in adults during the third or forth decade and even as late as eight decade of life. The prevalence of this disease is ...

Celiac disease (CD) is a malabsorptive disorder precipitated in genetically susceptible individuals by ingestion ofgluten . A significant part of the disease predisposition maps to the HLA class II region, but the primary HLA association is not known (1) . DR3 seems to be a susceptibility allele together with any other DR allele while DR7 is associated to CD almost only in combination with DR3 ...
متن کاملGenetic differences in HLA-DQA1* and DQB1* allelic distributions between celiac and control children in Santiago, Chile.
Celiac disease is a permanent gluten intolerance strongly associated with HLA class II antigens. The over presentation of particular HLA alleles and haplotypes has been described in several populations. Different lines of evidence obtained during the last years suggest that a particular HLA-DQ heterodimer, encoded by the DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201 genes in cis or trans conformation, confers the pr...

We investigated polymorphism of HLA-DP genes in three DR3 related diseases, confirming an association of coeliac disease with a Bgl II DP alpha polymorphism (a restriction fragment sized 3.5 kb present in 75% of patients compared to 34% of control subjects, p less than 0.001), and finding a weaker association with dermatitis herpetiformis (57% v 34%, p = 0.01) and no association with insulin de...
