This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of HLA-B*51 and its subtypes in Brazilian patients with Behçet's disease (BD) and healthy controls (HC) and to assess possible associations with disease manifestations.
A cross-sectional study with sequential BD patients and HC. HLAB51 presence was determined by sequence-specific polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) and HLA-B51 subtypes by the Sanger sequencing method.
Eighty-three BD patients and 258 HC were evaluated. HLA-B51 was found in 30.1% of DB patients and in 15.5% of HC (p=0.003). The most prevalent subtypes in DB patients were HLA-B51:01 (60.0%), HLA-B51:08 (20.0%), HLA-B51:22 (8.0%), HLAB* 51:29 (8.0%) and HLA-B51:02 (4.0%), while HLA-B51:01 (77.5%) and HLA-B51:55 (7.5%) were the most prevalent in HC. HLA-B51 was less frequently found in patients with neurologic involvement (8.0% vs. 29.3%; p=0.034) while HLAB51:01 was more observed in patients with ocular involvement (93.3% vs. 60.3%; p=0.014). No BD patient with neurologic or vascular involvement presented HLA-B51:01. HLAB51:08 was more frequent in patients with vascular manifestations (60.0% vs. 15.4%; p=0.012). In multivariate analysis, HLA-B51 was an independent risk factor for BD (OR=2.410; 95%CI: 1.332-4.361; p=0.004) and HLA-B*51:08 had an independent association with vascular manifestations of BD (OR = 14.843; 95%CI: 1.550 - 142.115; p=0.019).
The prevalence of HLAB51 is higher in Brazilian BD patients compared to HC, and it is a risk factor for BD. The HLA-B51:08 subtype was independently associated with vascular manifestations of BD.
本研究旨在评估 HLA-B*51 及其亚型在巴西白塞病(BD)患者和健康对照(HC)中的频率,并评估其与疾病表现的可能关联。
这是一项横断面研究,纳入了连续的 BD 患者和 HC。通过序列特异性聚合酶链反应(SSP-PCR)确定 HLA-B51 的存在,通过 Sanger 测序方法确定 HLA-B51 亚型。
共评估了 83 名 BD 患者和 258 名 HC。DB 患者中 HLA-B51 的检出率为 30.1%,HC 中为 15.5%(p=0.003)。DB 患者中最常见的亚型为 HLA-B51:01(60.0%)、HLA-B51:08(20.0%)、HLA-B51:22(8.0%)、HLA-B51:29(8.0%)和 HLA-B51:02(4.0%),而 HLA-B51:01(77.5%)和 HLA-B51:55(7.5%)在 HC 中最为常见。HLA-B51 在神经系统受累患者中较少见(8.0% vs. 29.3%;p=0.034),而 HLA-B51:01 在眼部受累患者中更为常见(93.3% vs. 60.3%;p=0.014)。无神经系统或血管受累的 BD 患者存在 HLA-B51:01。HLA-B51:08 在血管表现患者中更为常见(60.0% vs. 15.4%;p=0.012)。多变量分析显示,HLA-B51 是 BD 的独立危险因素(OR=2.410;95%CI:1.332-4.361;p=0.004),HLA-B51:08 与 BD 的血管表现有独立关联(OR=14.843;95%CI:1.550-142.115;p=0.019)。
与 HC 相比,巴西 BD 患者中 HLA-B51 的检出率更高,是 BD 的危险因素。HLA-B51:08 亚型与 BD 的血管表现独立相关。
