Résumé
El APS es la asociación de enfermedades endocrinas autoinmunes, con otros desórdenes autoinmunes no endocrinos, denominados componentes mayores y menores. Este síndrome se clasificó en 4 tipos. Las alteraciones de la respuesta inmune provocan fallas regulatorias de la misma; y polimorfismos de HLA, entre otros, sumado a factores adquiridos o permanentes, representan gatillos disparadores de la autoinmunidad. Nuestro objetivo fue buscar la asociación de HLA-DRB1*-DQB1* en individuos pertenecientes a dos familias, con diagnóstico en uno o más de ellos de APS, o con enfermedades autoinmunes aisladas. Determinar los anticuerpos séricos: a21-OH, aGAD y aTPO y observar la asociación con el haplotipo HLA. Estudiamos padres e hijos de dos familias, dos integrantes padecían APS tipo 2 y 3; y otros con enfermedades autoinmunes. Buscamos HLA-DRB1*-DQB1* y cuantificamos a21-OH, aTPO y aGAD. Los pacientes con APS 2 y 3 presentaron el HLA-DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201. De los individuos estudiados, 5/9 tenían este haplotipo HLA y al menos un autoanticuerpo positivo. Hallamos el factor genético en 2/3 de los integrantes con enfermedades autoinmunes correspondientes a componentes mayores. La relación observada, entre APS y HLA-DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201, aumenta la posibilidad de identificar personas en riesgo de contraer afecciones autoinmunes en grupos familiares, en los cuales algún integrante padece APS.
The APS is the association of autoimmune endocrine diseases, with other non-endocrine autoimmune disorders, named mayor and minor components. This syndrome was classified in 4 types. The alterations of the immune response cause regulatory faults; and HLA polymorphisms, among others; taken in conjunction with acquired or permanent factors, these represent triggers of autoimmunity. Our objective was to find out the association of HLA-DRB1*-DQB1* in individuals belonging to two families, with diagnosis in at least one of them APS, or with isolated autoimmune diseases. To determine serum antibodies: a21-OH, aGAD and aTPO and to observe the association with HLA haplotype. We have studied parents and offspring of two families, two members who suffered APS type 2 and 3, and others with autoimmune diseases. We have looked for HLA-DRB1*-DQB1* and quantified a21-OH, aTPO and aGAD. Patients with APS 2 and 3 showed HLA-DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201. Among the population we have studied, 5/9 had this HLA haplotype and at least one positive auto antibody. We have found the genetic factor in 2/3 of the members with autoimmune diseases corresponding to greater components. The observed relation between APS and HLA-DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201, increases the possibility of identifying people at risk of catching autoimmune affections in familiar groups in which at least one member suffers APS.
Résumé
Objective:To investigate frequencies and polymorphism of HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 allele in the Hans of Zunyi area.Methods:Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP) were used to type HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 genes of 200 unrelated healthy Han individuals in Zunyi area.Results:13 HLA-DRB1 and 7 HLA-DQB1 alleles were obtained at low resolution level in all subjects.The allele DRB1*09,DRB1*08 and DQB1*05 were showed high distributing frequencies;The allele DRB1*10 and DQB1*04 were scarcely found with low distributing frequencies.Comparied with Northern and Southern Han people,it would seem that Han people in Zunyi are more closely related to the Southern ones.The allele B*07 was scarcely found in the Southern Han with a high distributing frequency(GF=2.0%).Conclusion:HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 of Han people in Zunyi have plenty of polymorphisms.They seem to distribute in line with the Southern Han's characteristics but have their own territory feature with a high B*07 frequency.
