Abstract Background : Suicide is a complex phenomenon determined by the interaction of various risk factors. The Major Histocompatibility Complex most polymorphic gene cluster entire human genome, being linked to both regulation immune system and psychiatric diseases. aim this study was identify HLA-DQB1 DRB1 alleles genotypes susceptible influence suicidal behavior. Methods We explored associa...

The primary associations of the HLA class II genes, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1, and the class I genes, HLA-A and HLA-B, with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are well established. However, the role of polymorphism at the HLA-DRB3, HLA-DRB4, and HLA-DRB5 loci remains unclear. In two separate studies, one of 500 subjects and 500 control subjects and one of 366 DRB1*03:01-positive samples from selected multiplex ...
