The HLA-DRB1 alleles encoding an amino acid sequence (QKRAA/QRRAA/RRRAA) at position 70 74 of the third hypervariable region of the β1 chain of the HLA-DRB1 gene, called shared epitope (SE), are associated with increased susceptibility to and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different populations.
To determine the frequency of HLA-DRB1 alleles in Brazilian patients with RA and their association with rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA).
Four hundred and twelve patients with RA (ACR 1987) and 215 controls were included. HLA-DRB1 typing was performed by use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers and hybridization with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP). ACPA was measured by use of the ELISA technique and RF by nephelometry. The statistical analysis comprised the chi-square and Student t tests and logistic regression.
HLA-DRB1*04:01, *04:04, 04:05 alleles were associated with RA (P < 0.05); despite the wide confidence interval, it is worth noting the association between the DRB109:01 allele and RA (P < 0.05). HLA-DRB1 SE+ alleles were observed in 62.8% of the patients and in 31.1% of controls (OR 3.62; P < 0.001) and were associated with ACPA (OR 2.03; P < 0.001). DRB1-DERAA alleles showed a protective effect against RA (OR 0.42; P < 0.001).
In a sample of Brazilian patients with RA, most of whom of mixed heritage, HLA-DRB1 SE+ alleles were associated with susceptibility to disease and presence of ACPA.
HLA - DRB1基因β1链第三高变区第70 - 74位编码氨基酸序列(QKRAA/QRRAA/RRRAA)的等位基因,称为共享表位(SE),在不同人群中与类风湿关节炎(RA)易感性增加及病情严重程度相关。
确定巴西RA患者中HLA - DRB1等位基因频率及其与类风湿因子(RF)和抗瓜氨酸化肽抗体(ACPA)的关联。
纳入412例RA患者(1987年美国风湿病学会标准)和215例对照。采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)及特异性引物和序列特异性寡核苷酸探针(SSOP)杂交进行HLA - DRB1分型。采用ELISA技术检测ACPA,散射比浊法检测RF。统计分析包括卡方检验、学生t检验和逻辑回归。
HLA - DRB1*04:01、*04:04、04:05等位基因与RA相关(P < 0.05);尽管置信区间较宽,但值得注意的是DRB109:01等位基因与RA的关联(P < 0.05)。62.8%的患者和31.1%的对照中观察到HLA - DRB1 SE + 等位基因(比值比3.62;P < 0.001),且与ACPA相关(比值比2.03;P < 0.001)。DRB1 - DERAA等位基因对RA有保护作用(比值比0.42;P < 0.001)。
在巴西RA患者样本中,大多数为混合血统,HLA - DRB1 SE + 等位基因与疾病易感性及ACPA的存在相关。
