Abstract

To determine the association between HLA class II genes and methimazole-induced agranulocytosis in patients with Graves disease. Case-control study. Kuma Hospital, which specializes in thyroid diseases, in Kobe, Japan. 24 patients with Graves disease who had methimazole-induced agranulocytosis diagnosed by peripheral granulocyte counts of less than 0.5 x 10(9)/L, and 68 patients with Graves disease treated with methimazole, who were free from agranulocytosis. Controls were 525 healthy, unrelated Japanese student volunteers at Kyushu University in Japan. All HLA class II genes were analyzed for polymorphisms at the DNA level by using the polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes method. The allele frequencies in the agranulocytotic Graves disease group were compared with those in the nonagranulocytotic Graves disease and control groups. A strong positive association was seen in DRB1*08032 between the agranulocytotic group and both the control and nonagranulocytotic Graves disease groups. The HLA DRB1*08032 allele was strongly associated with susceptibility to methimazole-induced agranulocytosis, suggesting that cellular autoimmunity may be involved in its development.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
