abstract

the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome and have been widely studied in various populations and ethnic groups. investigations into the hla genes and proteins have been useful tool for anthropological, transplantation and disease association studies. the polymorphism of the hla class i (a, b, c) and class ii (drb1, dqa1, dqb1) genes were investigated in 90 unrelated iranian individuals from yazd province located in the center of iran using sequence-specific primers (pcr-ssp). allele and haplotype frequencies, expected/observed heterozygosity, unbiased expected heterozygosity, number of effective alleles, deviations from hardy-weinberg (hw) equilibrium and genetic diversity were computed. a total of 23, 48, 23, 24, 13 and 16 alleles for hla-a, -b,-c, -drb1, -dqa and -dqb loci were determined, respectively in the population study. the most frequent allele identified in this study were a*02:01 (18.889%), hla-b* 51:01 (12.778%), hla-c* 12:03 (17.033%), hla-drb* 11 (24.4%), hla-dqa* 05:05 (20.55%) and hla-dqb*03:01 (22.8%).furthermore, the most frequent 3-locus haplotypes were drb*11-dqa*05:01-dqb*03:01 (21.1%), hla-a*02:01- b *50:01- drb*07:01 (4.9%) and a*26:01 –b* 38:01 –c*12:03(5%). the most 4-locus haplotype were a*11:01 –b* 52:01 –c*12:03 –drb!*15(2.5%) and a*02:01 –b* 50:01 –drb1*07:01 –dqb1*02:01(4.5%). the heterozygosity of the study population was confirmed the expected value and not deviated from hardy-weinberg equilibrium for all loci ( p >0.05). our study shows a close relatedness between yazd population and other ethnic group of iran despite some differences, which may be due to admixture of each one of these groups with each other or foreigner subpopulations during centuries. moreover, the results of this study suggest that the iranian population from yazd province is in close vicinity with the caucasians populations and far from the korean and japanese populations.

Association of Human Leukocyte Antigens Class I & II with Graves’ Disease in Iranian Population

Background: Graves’ disease (GD), a highly rampant autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland, is responsible for 60-80% of the clinical cases of hyperthyroidism. Over the past decades, genetic association studies have identified several GD susceptibility loci in CTLA-4, TSHR and major histocompatibility complex regions. The information on the association between the human leukocyte antigens (HLA...

Analysis of Human Leukocyte Antigen class II Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome: a Family Study

Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the patients may have dysfunctioning of immune defense mechanisms. Objective: To assess the associat...

Investigation of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class I and II Alleles and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotypes in Patients Infected with HCV

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem with more than 130-180 million people infected worldwide. Several studies in different populations have reported the association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes, and HCV viral load, and genotypes. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between HLA class I and II alleles in HCV-infected patients and heal...

The Frequency of Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I and II Alleles and the Relationship Between Haplotypes in Gilaks Population of Iran

Background: The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) is the most polymorphic region in human genome. Moreover, HLA haplotype frequencies are largely used in transplantation, the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and population-based studies. The present study aimed to determine HLA-A, -B, -DR alleles and haplotype frequencies in 88 unrelated donors of Iranian Gilak ethnic group, by Polymerase Chain Re...
