To clarify whether there is an association of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) susceptibility with HLA-DQA1 locus in adult-onset IDDM.
Possible heterogeneity in immunogenetic aspects was investigated by comparing the findings on relationship between HLA-DQA1 52 Arg(+) and IDDM predisposition in three groups with different ages of IDDM onset (group A 14 years, group B 15-30 years, group C > 31 years).
The frequency of HLA-DQA1 52 Arg(+) in group A (87.5%) was higher than that in control (53.9%, P < 0.05) and in group B and C (P < 0.05). The frequency of HLA-DQA1 52 Arg(+)/Arg(+) phenotype in group A (75%) was higher than that in group C (23.1%, P < 0.05).
The contribution of HLA-DQA1 52 arginine to IDDM susceptibility is heterogeneous. Further study is necessary to clarify the immunogenetic entity of IDDM.
明确成人起病的胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)易感性与HLA - DQA1基因座之间是否存在关联。
通过比较三组不同发病年龄的IDDM患者(A组14岁,B组15 - 30岁,C组> 31岁)中HLA - DQA1 52 Arg(+)与IDDM易感性之间关系的研究结果,调查免疫遗传学方面可能存在的异质性。
A组中HLA - DQA1 52 Arg(+)的频率(87.5%)高于对照组(53.9%,P < 0.05)以及B组和C组(P < 0.05)。A组中HLA - DQA1 52 Arg(+)/Arg(+)表型的频率(75%)高于C组(23.1%,P < 0.05)。
HLA - DQA1 52精氨酸对IDDM易感性的影响存在异质性。有必要进一步研究以阐明IDDM的免疫遗传本质。
