Parent-of-origin effects at the major histocompatibility complex in multiple sclerosis

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility is characterized by maternal parent-of-origin effects and increased female penetrance. In 7796 individuals from 1797 MS families (affected individuals n = 2954), we further implicate epigenetic modifications within major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II haplotypes as mediating these phenomena. Affected individuals with the main MS-associated allele HLA-DRB1*15 had a higher female-to-male ratio versus those lacking it (P = 0.00023). Distorted transmission of MHC haplotypes by both parent-of-origin and gender-of-affected-offspring was most evident in the maternal HLA-DRB1*15 transmission to affected female offspring (OR = 3.31, 95% CI = 2.59-4.24) contrasting with similarity among maternal transmission to affected male offspring (OR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.44-3.14), paternal transmissions to affected female (OR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.64-2.78) and male (OR = 2.16, 95% CI = 1.37-3.39) offspring. Significant parent-of-origin effects were observed in affected females (maternal: P = 9.33 x 10(-42); paternal: P = 1.12 x 10(-15); comparison: P = 0.0014), but not in affected males (maternal: P = 6.70 x 10(-8); paternal: P = 2.54 x 10(-6); comparison: P = 0.95).

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.
