Association of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Iranian Children
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Many studies show HLA alleles can be associated with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with juvenile- onset in Iranian children. Materials and Methods At a case – control study, 31 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (case group) who referred to Mofid Children’s Hospital, Shahid Behehsti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, and 56 healthy children (control group) were participant. Genomic DNA was extracted and HLA typing was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with Sequence - Specific Primers (SSP) technique. Results HLA- DRB1*01, HLA- DRB1*04, HLA- DRB1*11 and HLA- DRB1*13 were detected to as most frequent alleles associated with SLE in Iranian children. The frequency of HLA DRB1*08 was not significantly different in both groups (P>0.05(. HLA- DRB1*07 had a higher rate of repetition in the control group than patients with SLE. Conclusion There was a significant difference in the frequency of some alleles between patients and controls group, which could be related to susceptibility to SLE. These differences between frequencies of some alleles in both groups may help to determine the onset of lupus in children.

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) DRB1*03 and DRB1*02 have been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Caucasians and black populations. It has been observed that certain HLA alleles show stronger associations with SLE autoantibodies and clinical subsets, although they have rarely been associated with lupus renal histologic class. In the present study, HLA-DRB1 allele correlations w...

Introduction Systemic lupus erythromatosus (SLE) is a complex and systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by diverse clinical symptoms, revealing widespread immunemediated damage. The common clinical features diagnosed in patients with SLE comprise of skin and joint diseases, hematological abnormalities, renal disease and neuropsychiatric complications. Although the etiology of SLE is ...

Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is an autoimmune process in which cutaneous lesions occur in majority of patients. This study was conducted to determine the pattern and prevalence of such lesions in SLE in Iranian children infected with SLE. Forty-eight patients, age between 3-16 yrs and male to female ratio of 7/1 were examined for the presence of cutaneous manifestations of SLE. The most co...

Introduction Abnormal liver tests are common among adult patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The most common cause is drug-induced hepatitis, while mild, predominantly lobular, but sometimes also portal and periportal-hepatitis reflecting SLE activity, is another possibility. Little is known about liver disease in juvenile SLE patients although mild transient liver enzyme abnormal...

Results A total of 59 patients, 49 (89%) were female and10 (16.9%) male. The female to male ratio was 4.9:1. The mean age of onset was 10.5 years (range 2-16). The mean duration of disease from diagnosis was 2 years (range7 months-5 years). The most common of constitutional sign was fatigue (76.3%) and the other signs were fever (32.2%), Nocturnal pain (20.3%), Mood disorder (20.03%), and Weigh...
