To determine the prognostic factors for knee and/or hip joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, we typed 379 RA patients for HLA-DRB alleles and analysed the antigen frequencies. The DRB10405 antigen frequency in RA patients who underwent total knee replacement and/or total hip replacement was significantly higher than in those who did not have replacements, which meant that DRB10405 was associated with knee and/or hip joint destruction. This finding may be of value for predicting knee and/or hip joint destruction in RA.
为了确定类风湿关节炎(RA)患者膝关节和/或髋关节破坏的预后因素,我们对379例RA患者进行了HLA - DRB等位基因分型,并分析了抗原频率。接受全膝关节置换和/或全髋关节置换的RA患者中DRB10405抗原频率显著高于未进行置换的患者,这意味着DRB10405与膝关节和/或髋关节破坏有关。这一发现可能对预测RA患者膝关节和/或髋关节破坏具有价值。
