Abstract

Specific alleles at the HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 loci seem to be associated with variable risks of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study assessed the distribution of HLA-DR and -DQ alleles among Iranian T1D patients and healthy controls. In this study, HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 alleles were determined in 100 children with T1D and 100 unrelated healthy controls. The following alleles were found to have a strong positive association with T1D: DRB1*0301, DRB1*0401, DRB1*0402, DQA1*0301, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0201, and DQB1*0302. Meanwhile, protective associations were found for DRB1*1001, DRB1*1101, DRB1*15, DRB1*16, DQA1*0102, DQA1*0103, DQB1*0301, DQB1*0501, and DQB1*0602 alleles. The haplotypes found most frequently among patients with T1D were DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201, DRB1*0401-DQA1*0301- DQB1*0302, and DRB1*0402-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302, whereas DRB1*1101-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0301 and DRB1*16-DQA1*0102- DQB1*0501 haplotypes were negatively associated with the disease. These results confirm the previously reported association of specific HLA-DR and HLA-DQ alleles and haplotypes with T1D in Iranian population. The notable difference was the identification of DRB1*16-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0501 as a protective haplotype and the absence o...Continue Reading
