We have characterized HLA antigens in subjects with beta-thalassaemia trait with and without iron overload. 50% of the cases with iron overload (v 18% of those without iron overload, P less than 0.01) are carriers of HLA-A3, the HLA antigen tightly linked to the IH allele. Thus, in a considerable number of these subjects, beta-thalassaemia and IH coexist. This association exerts a synergistic effect in inducing iron overload.
我们已对有和没有铁过载的β-地中海贫血特征患者的HLA抗原进行了表征。50%有铁过载的病例(相比之下,没有铁过载的病例中这一比例为18%,P<0.01)是HLA-A3的携带者,HLA-A3是与IH等位基因紧密连锁的HLA抗原。因此,在相当数量的这些患者中,β-地中海贫血和IH共存。这种关联在诱导铁过载方面发挥协同作用。
