Brief Genetics Report The HLA Class II Locus DPB1 Can Influence Susceptibility to Type 1 Diabetes
HLA-DPB1 genotypes were determined for samples from 269 multiplex Caucasian families from the Human Biological Data Interchange. DRB1 and DQB1 loci were also characterized, allowing assignment of DPB1 alleles to haplotypes and calculation of linkage disequilibrium values. Frequencies for several DPB1 alleles diff e r e d significantly between patients and affected family– based control subjects...
متن کاملHLA class II polymorphisms and susceptibility to recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is characterised by multiple laryngeal papillomas. Left untreated, the lesions enlarge, spread, and endanger the airway. Medical treatments are unsatisfactory, and repeated surgery remains the mainstay of therapy. RRP is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, since oral HPV infection is common and RRP is rare, other host and/or viral ...
متن کاملULCERATIVE COLITIS AND HLA CLASS II PHENOTYPING IN IRAN
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a nonspecific acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease that diffusely involves the colonic mucosa. The etiology of UC has not yet been elucidated fully. However, many studies have found that immunologic disorders may play a role in the pathogenesis of UC. In addition, due to an increased frequency of UC in families, especially an increased monozygotic compared...
متن کاملKIR-HLA combinations and susceptibility to tuberculosis
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb), with more than nine million new cases and almost two million deaths in each year is a worldwide important public health problem. Generally, human immune responses prevent Mtb spread, and the infection remains in a latent state. Both, innate and adaptive immune responses are involved against TB. However, the role of the...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA-Class I and HLA-Class II Alleles and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in Iraqi Patients from Baghdad City
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) is one of the endemic diseases in Iraq, and among the suggested predisposing factors are alleles of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. We sought to investigate the association between HLA-class I (A and B) and -class II (DR and DQ) alleles in a sample of PT Iraqi patients.Methods: lymphocytes of 105 PT patients and 40 controls were phenotyped for H...
