To evaluate and extend upon a reported association of a T cell receptor (TCR) V beta coding region polymorphism with pauciarticular-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA).
TCR V beta 6.1 genotypes and haplotypes in JRA and control groups were determined by DNA amplification.
Haplotypes of the V beta 6.1 gene which encode a nonfunctional form of V beta 6.1 were significantly associated with pauciarticular JRA in patients possessing the HLA-DQA1*0101 allele (P = 0.0073).
A TCR V beta gene segment in the vicinity of V beta 6.1, possibly V beta 6.1, is apparently involved in the pathogenesis of pauciarticular-onset JRA in DQA1*0101-positive individuals.
评估并拓展已报道的T细胞受体(TCR)Vβ编码区多态性与少关节型幼年类风湿性关节炎(JRA)的关联。
通过DNA扩增确定JRA组和对照组的TCR Vβ6.1基因型和单倍型。
编码无功能形式Vβ6.1的Vβ6.1基因单倍型与携带HLA - DQA1*0101等位基因的少关节型JRA患者显著相关(P = 0.0073)。
Vβ6.1附近的一个TCR Vβ基因片段,可能是Vβ6.1,显然参与了DQA1*0101阳性个体少关节型JRA的发病机制。
