Global Meta-Analysis on the Association between Behcet Syndrome and Polymorphisms from the HLA Class I (A, B, and C) and Class II (DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1) Genes.

ABSTRACT: Behcet syndrome (BS) is a multisystemic perivasculitis whose genetic susceptibility is linked to HLA region. We first meta-analysed all HLA class I and II genes involved in BS susceptibility in all ethnic groups worldwide. We identified 1141 articles and finally included 31 case-control studies after multiple rounds of selection. We analysed frequencies for 24 HLA-A alleles (3 alleles for HLA-A∗26 at four digits), 50 HLA-B alleles (11 alleles for HLA-B∗51 at four digits), 15 HLA-C alleles, 16 HLA-DRB1 alleles, 6 HLA-DQB1 alleles, and 15 HLA-DPB1 alleles. We meta-analysed only HLA allelic frequencies from at least three studies; therefore, we investigated 21 alleles out of 140. Going from 7.00 to 1.6 OR, we found 11 class I alleles conferring risk for BS: B∗51 : 08, B∗51, B∗51 : 01, B∗51 : 02, DQB1∗03, A∗26 : 01, Cw∗14, Cw∗15, Cw∗16, B∗15, and A∗26. Overall, the studies included populations from Europe (Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Ireland), Asia (Korea, China, China Han, and Thailand), Middle East (Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Iran), and Morocco (as no other North-African population was included). We collected a number of ethnical groups sufficient to conduct an ethnic-specific meta-analysis where Europeans showed 11.25 OR for B∗51:08 and Japan 3.50 OR for A∗26 : 01. A remarkable result was that the most frequent HLA - B∗51 two-digit alleles associated with BS were different among populations: HLA - B∗51 : 08 in Europe, HLA - B∗51 : 01 in Turkey, and HLA - B∗51 : 02 in Japan. Overall, we discussed our real-world results with other imputation studies.

Project description:Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DQB1 with the humoral immune response elicited by inactivated Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine (IJEV). Methods: A total of 373 individuals aged 3-12 years in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China, who received two doses of IJEV at 0 and 7 days, were enrolled in the current study. Based on the individuals' specific JE virus (JEV)-neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), they were divided into a seropositive and a seronegative group. HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DQB1 were genotyped using a sequencing-based typing method. Next, the association of the HLA class II genes and their haplotypes with antibody response was evaluated. Results: Based on NAbs, a total of 161 individuals were classified as seropositive and 212 as seronegative. DQB1 * 02:01 was significantly associated with JEV seropositivity (P < 0.001, OR = 0.364, 95% CI: 0.221-0.600), while DQB1 * 02:02 was significantly associated with JEV seronegativity (P = 5.03 × 10-6, OR = 7.341, 95% CI: 2.876-18.736). The haplotypes DRB1 * 07:01-DPB1 * 04:01-DQB1 * 02:01, DRB1 * 15:01-DPB1 * 02:01-DQB1 * 06:02, DRB1 * 07:01-DQB1 * 02:01, and DPB1 * 02:01-DQB1 * 06:02 were very frequent in the seropositive group, while DRB1 * 07:01-DPB1 * 17:01-DQB1 * 02:02, DRB1 * 07:01-DQB1 * 02:02, and DPB1 * 17:01-DQB1 * 02:02 were very frequent in the seronegative group. The presence of DRB1 * 01:01, DRB1 * 04:05, DRB1 * 09:01, DRB1 * 12:02, DRB1 * 13:02, and DRB1 * 14:01 was associated with a higher geometric mean titer (GMT) of NAbs than that of DRB1 * 11:01 at the DRB1 locus (P < 0.05). At the DPB1 locus, the presence of DPB1 * 05:01 was associated with higher GMTs than that of DPB1 * 02:01 and DPB1 * 13:01 (P < 0.05), and the presence of DPB1 * 04:01 and DPB1 * 09:01 was associated with higher GMTs than that of DPB1 * 13:01 (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The present study suggests that HLA class II genes may influence the antibody response to IJEV.

Project description:Potential correlation of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6 variants and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II polymorphisms has been suggested in patients with cervical cancer, so far little information is available about the possible interaction between E6 variants and HLA class II variability during the obviously accelerated progression to cervical cancer in young women. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between the HPV16 E6 variants and HLA-DRB1, DQB1 alleles in a Chinese young cervical cancer population. The HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 polymophisms were genotyped by low-resolution polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with sequence-specific primer. HPV16 E6 DNA was tested by Sanger fluorescent dye dideoxy-termination technique. The difference of DRB1, DQB1 polymorphisms between young cervical cancer patients (≤35ys, n=61) and older ones (>35ys, n=85) and the association with E6 variants were analyzed. Results showed that the distribution pattern of HLA-DRB1, DQB1 alleles was different between young cervical cancer patients and older ones. The allele frequency of DQB1*0501 in young patients was significantly lower than older ones (6.6% vs. 23.5%, p<0.05). The HPV16 E6 A4 lineage was the exclusive type observed in young patients, and its prevalence was significantly higher than that of older cases (82.86% vs.41.94%, p<0.05). DRB1*03 was not found in young patients positive for the HPV16 E6 A4 lineage, whereas it was observed in 19.2 % older patients with A4 positive(Pc<0.05). In conclusion, specific association between certain HPV16 E6 variant and genetic polymorphisms of HLA may play a role during the progression of early onset cervical cancer in young patients. Certain HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles may be related to the A4 lineage among young cervical cancer patients, which was the unique HPV16 E6 variant found in Chinese young patients. Our finding may provide an insight into the pathogenic factors that associated with cervical cancer in young women.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS), a common central nervous system inflammatory disease, has a major heritable component. Susceptibility is associated with the MHC class II region, especially HLA-DRB5*0101-HLA-DRB1*1501-HLA-DQA1*0102-HLA-DQB1*0602 haplotypes(hereafter DR2), which dominate genetic contribution to MS risk. Marked linkage disequilibrium (LD) among these loci makes identification of a specific locus difficult. The once-leading candidate, HLA-DRB1*15, localizes to risk, neutral, and protective haplotypes. HLA-DRB1*15 and HLA-DQB1*0602, nearly always located together on a small ancestral chromosome segment, are strongly MS-associated. One intervening allele on this haplotype, viz. HLA-DQA1*0102, shows no primary MS association. Two Canadian cohorts (n = 830 and n = 438 trios) genotyped for HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles were tested for association using TDT. To evaluate epistasis involving HLA-DRB1*15, transmissions from HLA-DRB1*15-negative parents were stratified by the presence/absence of HLA-DRB1*15 in affected offspring. All 3 alleles contribute to MS susceptibility through novel epistatic interactions. HLA-DQA1*0102 increased disease risk when combined with HLA-DRB1*1501 in trans, thereby unambiguously implicating HLA-DQ in MS susceptibility. Three-locus haplotypes demonstrated that HLA-DRB1*1501 and HLA-DQB1*0602 each influence risk. Transmissions of rare morcellated DR2 haplotypes showed no interaction with HLA-DQA1*0102. Incomplete haplotypes bearing only HLA-DRB1*1501 or HLA-DQB1*0602 did not predispose to MS. Balanced reciprocal transmission distortion can mask epistatic allelic association. These findings implicate epistasis among HLA class II alleles in human immune responses generally, provide partial explanation for intense linkage disequilibrium in the MHC, have relevance to animal models, and demonstrate key roles for DR2-specific interactions in MS susceptibility. MHC disease associations may be more generally haplotypic or diplotypic.
