Across multiancestry groups, we analyzed Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) associations in over 176,000 individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) versus controls. We demonstrate that the two diseases share the same protective association at the HLA locus. HLA-specific fine-mapping showed that hierarchical protective effects of *04 subtypes best accounted for the association, strongest with *04:04 and *04:07, and intermediary with *04:01 and *04:03. The same signal was associated with decreased neurofibrillary tangles in postmortem brains and was associated with reduced tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid and to a lower extent with increased Aβ42. Protective *04 subtypes strongly bound the aggregation-prone tau PHF6 sequence, however only when acetylated at a lysine (K311), a common posttranslational modification central to tau aggregation. An *04-mediated adaptive immune response decreases PD and AD risks, potentially by acting against tau, offering the possibility of therapeutic avenues.
在多民族群体中,我们分析了超过 176000 名帕金森病 (PD) 和阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 患者与对照组个体的人类白细胞抗原 (HLA) 相关性。我们证明这两种疾病在 HLA 基因座上具有相同的保护性关联。HLA 特异性精细映射表明,04 亚型的分层保护作用最能解释这种关联,其中最强的是04:04 和 04:07,其次是04:01 和 04:03。相同的信号与死后大脑中的神经纤维缠结减少有关,与脑脊液中的 tau 水平降低有关,与 Aβ42 增加的相关性较低。保护性04 亚型强烈结合易聚集的 tau PHF6 序列,但只有在赖氨酸 (K311) 乙酰化时才会发生,这是 tau 聚集的一个常见的翻译后修饰,是 tau 聚集的中心。*04 介导的适应性免疫反应降低了 PD 和 AD 的风险,可能是通过针对 tau 起作用,为治疗途径提供了可能性。
