Individual studies have reported different results regarding the association of HLA alleles with RA in Chinese populations. This study was performed to systematically summarize results on the association of HLA-DRB1 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China.
We examined the case-control studies concerned about the relationship between HLA-DRB1 and RA and differences of clinical and laboratory parameters between the HLA-DR4 (DR4)+ and DR4- in RA patients in Chinese populations. Odds ratios (ORs) and weighted mean difference (WMD) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to describe the relationship.
22 studies with 1690 cases and 1793 controls were included. Chinese populations with RA had significantly higher frequencies of HLA-DRB104, 0401, 0404, 0405 and 0410 than controls (ORDRB104 =4.19, 95% CI =3.44-5.11, p<0.00001; ORDRB10401 =2.53, 95% CI =1.54-4.16, p=0.0003; ORDRB10404 =2.28, 95% CI =1.28-4.06, p=0.005; ORDRB10405=3.71, 95% CI =2.52-5.45, p<0.00001; ORDRB10410 =2.99, 95% CI =1.25-7.14, p=0.01 respectively). As to laboratory parameters, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Rheumatoid factor (RF), Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (Anti-CCP ) in patients with DR4+ were higher than patients with DR4- (WMD=0.26, 95% CI =0.15-0.37, p<0.00001; WMD = 0.26, 95% CI =0.12-0.41, p=0.0005; WMD = 0.44, 95% CI =0.23-0.65, p<0.00001; WMD = 0.58, 95% CI =0.24-0.91, p=0.0007 respectively). As to clinical features, there was no difference in duration of morning stiffness, number of swollen joints, number of joint tenderness, X-ray phases and joint function between the DR4+ and DR4- in RA patients.
It was found that HLA-DRB1*04, *0401, *0404, *0405 and *0410 are risk factors for RA in Chinese populations. ESR, CRP, RF, Anti-CCP are different between the DR4+ and DR4- in RA patients in Chinese populations, while there's no difference for indexes of clinical features.
已有个别研究报告了中国人群中 HLA 等位基因与类风湿关节炎(RA)之间关联的不同结果。本研究旨在系统总结中国人群中 HLA-DRB1 与类风湿关节炎之间关联的病例对照研究结果,以及 RA 患者中 HLA-DR4(DR4+)和 DR4-之间临床和实验室参数的差异。比值比(OR)和加权均数差(WMD)及其相应的 95%置信区间(CI)用于描述相关性。
我们检索了关于 HLA-DRB1 与 RA 之间关系以及中国人群中 RA 患者 HLA-DR4(DR4+)和 DR4-之间临床和实验室参数差异的病例对照研究。使用比值比(OR)和加权均数差(WMD)及其相应的 95%置信区间(CI)来描述相关性。
共纳入 22 项研究,包括 1690 例病例和 1793 例对照。与对照组相比,中国人群中 RA 患者 HLA-DRB104、0401、0404、0405 和0410 的频率显著升高(ORDRB104=4.19,95%CI=3.44-5.11,p<0.00001;ORDRB10401=2.53,95%CI=1.54-4.16,p=0.0003;ORDRB10404=2.28,95%CI=1.28-4.06,p=0.005;ORDRB10405=3.71,95%CI=2.52-5.45,p<0.00001;ORDRB10410=2.99,95%CI=1.25-7.14,p=0.01)。在实验室参数方面,DR4+患者的红细胞沉降率(ESR)、C 反应蛋白(CRP)、类风湿因子(RF)、抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体(Anti-CCP)高于 DR4-患者(WMD=0.26,95%CI=0.15-0.37,p<0.00001;WMD=0.26,95%CI=0.12-0.41,p=0.0005;WMD=0.44,95%CI=0.23-0.65,p<0.00001;WMD=0.58,95%CI=0.24-0.91,p=0.0007)。在临床特征方面,DR4+和 DR4-患者的晨僵持续时间、肿胀关节数、关节压痛数、X 线分期和关节功能无差异。
在中国人群中,HLA-DRB1*04、*0401、*0404、0405 和0410 是 RA 的危险因素。在中国人群中,DR4+和 DR4-的 RA 患者的 ESR、CRP、RF、Anti-CCP 不同,但临床特征指标无差异。
