The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is known to be highly polymorphic and has been identified to be associated with numerous diseases. The HLA-DPB1 and BTNL2 genes were associated with psoriasis for the first time. The present study aims to investigate the relevance of the HLA-DPB1 and BTNL2 genes with respect to clinical phenotypes of psoriasis vulgaris (PV).
To investigate whether the HLA-DPB1 and BTNL2 polymorphisms were associated with clinical phenotypes of PV in Chinese Han population, we conducted an analysis in case-controls and case-only subjects (9906 controls and 8744 cases) via MHC targeted sequencing stratified analysis.
In cases and controls, analysis showed that the genotype of HLA-DPB105:01 was associated with type of guttate [p = 3.914 × 10 , odds ratio (OR = 0.9335)] and northern region (p = 1.182 × 10 , OR = 0.9108). In the case-only analysis, the genotype of HLA-DPB105:01 was significantly correlated with geographical region (p = 1.36 × 10 , OR = 1.134). In cases and controls, analysis showed that the genotype of BTNL2 (rs 41355746) was associated with being male (p = 2.563 × 10 , OR = 0.8897), early-onset (p = 9.399 × 10 , OR = 0.8856), guttate (p = 2.469 × 10 , OR = 0.8558) and family history (p = 1.51 × 10 , OR = 0.772). In the case-only analysis, the genotype of BTNL2 (rs41355746) was significantly correlated with family history (p = 1.768 × 10 , OR = 0.757) and age of onset (p = 3.818 × 10 , OR = 1.195).
The results of the present study indicate that the HLA-DPB105:01 gene was associated with the geographical region of PV and the BTNL2 gene was significantly associated with family history and age of onset of PV. In conclusion, the HLA-DPB105:01 and BTNL2 genes might be responsible for the complicacy of clinical features.
人类主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)高度多态性,已被确定与许多疾病相关。HLA-DPB1 和 BTNL2 基因首次与银屑病相关。本研究旨在探讨 HLA-DPB1 和 BTNL2 基因与寻常型银屑病(PV)临床表型的相关性。
为了研究 HLA-DPB1 和 BTNL2 多态性是否与中国汉族人群 PV 的临床表型相关,我们通过 MHC 靶向测序分层分析,在病例对照和仅病例研究(9906 例对照和 8744 例病例)中进行了分析。
在病例和对照中,分析表明 HLA-DPB105:01 基因型与点滴状(p=3.914×10−5,优势比(OR)=0.9335)和北方地区(p=1.182×10−5,OR=0.9108)相关。在仅病例分析中,HLA-DPB105:01 基因型与地理区域显著相关(p=1.36×10−10,OR=1.134)。在病例和对照中,分析表明 BTNL2(rs41355746)基因型与男性(p=2.563×10−5,OR=0.8897)、早发(p=9.399×10−6,OR=0.8856)、点滴状(p=2.469×10−5,OR=0.8558)和家族史(p=1.51×10−5,OR=0.772)相关。在仅病例分析中,BTNL2(rs41355746)基因型与家族史(p=1.768×10−10,OR=0.757)和发病年龄(p=3.818×10−10,OR=1.195)显著相关。
本研究结果表明,HLA-DPB105:01 基因与 PV 的地理区域相关,BTNL2 基因与 PV 的家族史和发病年龄显著相关。综上所述,HLA-DPB105:01 和 BTNL2 基因可能导致了临床特征的复杂性。
