Association of HLA-Aw31 and HLA-DR1 with adult rheumatoid arthritis.

چکیده
Forty-nine Israeli Jewish patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were studied for their HLA A, B, C, DR antigen frequency. A significant increase in HLA Aw31 and HLA DR1 was observed (p less than 5.10(-5) and p less than 5.10(-3) respectively). 45% of Aw31 positive patients were sero-negative for rheumatoid factor, while most HLA DR1 positive individuals were seropositive. DR5 was found to be significantly decreased (p less than 5.10(-4)). Contrary to previous reports, DRw4 was found to be within the range of antigen frequency of the controls (34.7% vs. 32%). It is suggested that in our population of patients Aw31 and DR1 and not DR4 are highly associated with adult onset of RA.

بررسی ارتباط HLA-DR4 و ساب تایپ‌های آن با ابتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید
Background: There are several evidences that genetic factors besides environmental triggers have important role in initiating the rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of rheumatoid arthritis with different subtypes of HLA DR4 in Iranian patients. Methods: In an un-matched case control study, 110 rheumatoid arthritis patients (case) and 56 knee ost...
متن کاملFamilial palindromic rheumatism: a possible association with HLA.
Palindromic rheumatism is very rare in children. The familial occurrence of the disease has been only briefly reported previously. A family is described here in which the mother and her 3 children suffered from typical palindromic rheumatism, which ran a benign course. All 4 members were seronegative and the HLA types of the children were identical. The HLA genotype of the mother was HLA A2, Cw...
متن کاملAssociation of MHC and rheumatoid arthritis: HLA-DR4 and rheumatoid arthritis - studies in mice and men
Inherited susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the DRB1 genes encoding the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR4 and HLA-DR1 molecules. Transgenic mice expressing these major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules have been developed to generate humanized models for RA. The relevance of these models for understanding RA will be discussed.

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 کاملHLA-DRB1 genes and extraarticular rheumatoid arthritis
The factors that trigger the development of extraarticular features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are still unknown. HLA-DR alleles such as HLA-DR4 and HLA-DR1 are associated with the risk to develop RA. A large scale study from Sweden and the Mayo Clinic suggests that HLA-DR4, but not HLA-DR1, is associated with the risk to develop extraarticular RA.
