HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 Variants Confer Susceptibility to Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults: Relative Predispositional Effects among Allele Groups.

ABSTRACT: Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) was recently demonstrated to be the most frequent form of adult-onset autoimmune diabetes mellitus. Case-control studies have investigated the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 polymorphisms and LADA risk, but their conclusions are inconsistent. This study aimed to more precisely explore the correlation between these HLA gene variants and LADA development. Eight databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Medline, were systematically searched for relevant studies up to September 15, 2018. We performed this retrospective study using meta-analysis and relative predispositional effect (RPE) methods. The meta-analysis results indicated that DQB1*02 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.685, p_c < 0.005) and DQB1*06 (OR = 0.604, p_c = 0.010) have opposite effects on susceptibility to LADA, while a significant decrease in LADA risk caused by DQB1*05 (OR = 0.764, p_c = 0.100) disappeared upon Bonferroni correction. The RPE method confirmed the roles of DQB1*02 (?² = 46.475, p < 0.001) and DQB1*06 (?² = 17.883, p < 0.001) and further suggested protective effects of DQB1*05 (?² = 16.496, p < 0.001). Additionally, the meta-analysis results showed that DRB1*03 (OR = 2.685, p_c < 0.013), DRB1*04 (OR = 1.954, p_c < 0.013), and DRB1*09 (OR = 1.346, p_c < 0.013) are associated with increased LADA risk, while DRB1*12 (OR = 0.600, p_c < 0.013) and DRB1*13 (OR = 0.583, p_c < 0.013) carriers have a decreased risk of developing LADA. Furthermore, the RPE method revealed that DRB1*03 (?² = 98.754, p < 0.001), DRB1*04 (?² = 94.685, p < 0.001), DRB1*09 (?² = 40.489, p < 0.001), DRB1*01 (?² = 12.181, p < 0.001), DRB1*07 (?² = 10.882, p = 0.001), and DRB1*08 (?² = 5.000, p = 0.025) play protective roles against LADA. LADA showed a close relationship with genetic polymorphisms of HLA-DQB1 and WHLA-DRB1, which could contribute to a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and the identification of predisposing loci in the diagnosis and treatment of LADA.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Genetic predisposition to multiple sclerosis (MS) in Sardinia (Italy) has been associated with five DRB1*-DQB1* haplotypes of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Given the complexity of these associations, an in-depth re-analysis was performed with the specific aims of confirming the haplotype associations; establishing the independence of the associated haplotypes; and assessing patients' genotypic risk of developing MS. METHODS AND RESULTS: A transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) of the DRB1*-DQB1* haplotypes in 943 trio families, confirmed a higher than expected transmission rate (over-transmission) of the *13:03-*03:01 (OR = 2.9, P = 7.6×10(-3)), *04:05-*03:01 (OR = 2.4, P = 4.4×10(-6)) and *03:01-*02:01 (OR = 2.1, P = 1.0×10(-15)) haplotype. In contrast, the *16:01-*05:02 (OR = 0.5, P = 5.4×10(-11)) and the *15:02-*06:01 (OR = 0.3, P = 1.5×10(-3)) haplotypes exhibited a lower than expected transmission rate (under-transmission). The independence of the transmission of each positively and negatively associated haplotype was confirmed relative to all positively associated haplotypes, and to the negatively associated *16:01-*05:02 haplotype. In patients, carriage of two predisposing haplotypes, or of protective haplotypes, respectively increased or decreased the patient's risk of developing MS. The risk of MS followed a multiplicative model of genotypes, which was, in order of decreasing ORs: *04:05-*0301/*03:01-*02:01 (OR = 4.5); *03:01-*02:01/*03:01-*02:01 (OR = 4.1); and the *16:01-*05:02/*16:01-*0502 (OR = 0.2) genotypes. Analysis of DRB1 and DQB1 protein chain residues showed that the Val/Gly residue at position 86 of the DRB1 chain was the only difference between the protective *16:01- *15:02 alleles and the predisposing *15:01 one. Similarly, the Ala/Val residue at position 38 of the DQB1 chain differentiated the positively associated *06:02 allele and the negatively associated *05:02, *06:01 alleles. CONCLUSIONS: These findings show that the association of specific, independent DRB1*-DQB1* haplotypes confers susceptibility or resistance to MS in the MS-prone Sardinian population. The data also supports a functional role for specific residues of the DRB1 and DQB1 proteins in predisposing patients to MS.

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.

Project description:Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic progressive liver disease. AIH is composed predominantly of type 1 in Japanese populations. The genetic and environmental factors are associated with the pathogenesis of AIH. HLA-DRB1*03:01 and *04:01 are associated with type 1 AIH in European and *04:05 in Japanese populations. Here, we conducted an HLA association study in order to find HLA alleles or haplotypes predisposing or protective for Japanese AIH.HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 genotyping of 360 type 1 AIH patients and 1026 healthy controls was performed.The predisposing association of DRB1*04:01 (P = 0.0006, corrected P [Pc] = 0.0193, odds ratio [OR] 2.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-5.43), DRB1*04:05 (P = 1.89×10-21, Pc = 5.86×10-20, OR 3.41, 95% CI 2.65-4.38), and DQB1*04:01 (P = 4.66×10-18, Pc = 6.99×10-17, OR 3.89, 95% CI 2.84-5.33) and the protective association of DRB1*13:02 (P = 0.0003, Pc = 0.0080, OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.32-0.72) with Japanese type 1 AIH were observed. An association of the DR4/DR8 heterozygous genotype with Japanese AIH was identified for the first time (P = 3.12×10-9, OR 3.52, 95% CI 2.34-5.29). Susceptible diplotypes were DRB1*04:05-DQB1*04:01/DRB1*08:02-DQB1*03:02 (P = 0.0004, OR 24.77, 95% CI 1.45-424.31) and DRB1*04:05-DQB1*04:01/DRB1*08:03-DQB1*06:01 (P = 1.18×10-6, OR 10.64, 95% CI 3.19-35.46). Serum levels of Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin M, International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group score, positive rate of anti-smooth muscle antibodies, and the rate of definite AIH were higher in AIH patients with DRB1*04:05 than without.The important roles of specific combinations of DRB1 and DQB1 alleles or haplotypes in the pathogenesis of type 1 AIH were suggested. The association of DR4/DR8 heterozygous genotype suggested the pathologic importance of trans-complementing DQ?-? heterodimer molecules encoded by DQA1 allele of one haplotype and the DQB1 allele of the other haplotype, as it was proposed in the HLA association studies of Type 1 diabetes.
