Atrophic gastritis (AG) is often considered an autoimmune disorder and is associated with other autoimmune diseases. HLA-DRB1 alleles are often associated with autoimmune diseases, however HLA-DRB1 genotyping data in AG patients are lacking. The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of HLA-DRB1 in AG patients.
The occurrence of HLA-DRB1 alleles was assessed in 89 Italian AG patients (69.1% female) and 313 controls (47.3% females). Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood, PCR-coamplified for HLA-DRB1 and typed using a reverse line-blot assay.
Compared to controls, prevalence of HLA-DRB103 (28.1% vs. 15.9%, p=0.01) and HLA-DRB104 (25.8% vs. 14.4%, p=0.01) was greater in AG patients, conferring an OR of 2.05 and 2.07, respectively. HLA-DRB101 occurred more frequently in controls than in AG patients (11.5% vs. 3.4%, p=0.01) conferring an OR of 0.27. AG patients carrying the HLA-DRB103 or *04 alleles were characterised by having more frequently autoimmune thyroid disease (70.4% vs. 42.2%, p=0.01) and intestinal metaplasia (86.4% vs. 62.2%, p=0.01).
In our population, over 50% of AG patients carry the HLA-DRB1*03 or *04 alleles associated with autoimmune diseases, suggesting that this subset of AG patients has a genetic predisposition to autoimmunity.
萎缩性胃炎(AG)常被认为是一种自身免疫性疾病,与其他自身免疫性疾病有关。HLA-DRB1 等位基因常与自身免疫性疾病相关,但 AG 患者的 HLA-DRB1 基因分型数据尚缺乏。本研究旨在评估 AG 患者 HLA-DRB1 的患病率。
评估了 89 例意大利 AG 患者(69.1%为女性)和 313 名对照者(47.3%为女性)中 HLA-DRB1 等位基因的发生情况。从外周静脉血中提取基因组 DNA,PCR 共同扩增 HLA-DRB1 并使用反向线印迹分析进行分型。
与对照组相比,AG 患者 HLA-DRB103(28.1%比 15.9%,p=0.01)和 HLA-DRB104(25.8%比 14.4%,p=0.01)的患病率更高,OR 值分别为 2.05 和 2.07。HLA-DRB101 在对照组中的发生率高于 AG 患者(11.5%比 3.4%,p=0.01),OR 值为 0.27。携带 HLA-DRB103 或 *04 等位基因的 AG 患者更常发生自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(70.4%比 42.2%,p=0.01)和肠化生(86.4%比 62.2%,p=0.01)。
在我们的人群中,超过 50%的 AG 患者携带与自身免疫性疾病相关的 HLA-DRB1*03 或 *04 等位基因,提示这部分 AG 患者具有自身免疫的遗传易感性。
