HLA class II SNP interactions and the association with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Bengali speaking patients of Eastern India.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated a fundamental role for the HLA in the susceptibility of, or protection to, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, this has not been adequately studied in Asian Indian populations. To assess the frequency of HLA class II (DPA1, DPB1, DQA1, DQB1 and DRB1) associated to susceptibility or protection toT1DM in a Bengali population of India with diabetes. RESULTS:Single nucleotide polymorphism study. The HLA genotyping was performed by a polymerase chain reaction followed by their HLA-DP, DQ, and DRB1 genotypes and haplotypes by sequencing method. The results are studied by Plink software. The ?2 tests were used for the inferential statistics. To our knowledge, this study is the first of a kind which has attempted to check the HLA association with T1DM by SNPs analysis. The study recruited 151 patients with T1DM and same number of ethno-linguistic, sex matched non-diabetic controls. The present study found a significant SNP rs7990 of HLA-DQA1 (p = 0.009) negative correlation, again indicating that risk from HLA is considerably more with T1DM. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates that the HLA class-II alleles play a major role in genetic basis of T1DM.

Project description:The aim of this study was to quantitate risk and to examine heterogeneity for HLA at high resolution in patients with the most common subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), IgM rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular JIA and oligoarticular JIA. Use of 4-digit comprehensive HLA typing enabled great precision, and a large cohort allowed for consideration of both age at disease onset and disease subtype.Polymerase chain reaction-based high-resolution HLA typing for class I and class II loci was accomplished for 820 patients with JIA and 273 control subjects. Specific HLA epitopes, potential interactions of alleles at specific loci and between loci (accounting for linkage disequilibrium and haplotypic associations), and an assessment of the current International League of Associations for Rheumatology classification criteria were considered.An HLA-DRB1/DQB1 effect was shown to be exclusively attributable to DRB1 and was similar between patients with oligoarticular JIA and a younger subgroup of patients with polyarticular JIA. Furthermore, patients with polyarticular JIA showed age-specific related effects, with disease susceptibility in the group older than age 6 years limited to an effect of the HLA-DRB1*08 haplotype, which is markedly different from the additional susceptibility haplotypes, HLA-DRB1*1103/1104, found in the group with oligoarticular JIA and the group of younger patients with polyarticular JIA. Also in contrast to findings for oligoarticular JIA, patients with polyarticular arthritis had no evidence of an HLA class I effect. Markers associated with a reduced risk of disease included DRB1*1501, DRB1*0401, and DRB1*0701. DRB1*1501 was shown to reduce risk across the whole cohort, whereas DRB1*0401 and DRB1*0701 were protective for selected JIA subtypes. Surprisingly, the disease predisposition mediated by DPB1*0201 in individuals without any disease-predisposing DRB1 alleles was great enough to overcome even the very strong protective effect observed for DRB1*1501.Inherited HLA factors in JIA show similarities overall as well as differences between JIA subtypes.
