Insulin-dependent diabetic and control subjects of Japanese origin were HLA-DRB1, -DQB1, and -DQA1 typed using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and sequence-specific oligonucleotide gene probing. The DQA1 allele DQA1*0301 was positively associated with the disease [48/52 (92%) diabetic patients versus 44/64 (69%) control subjects, Pc less than 0.03, RR = 4.97]. Alleles of the DRB1 and DQB1 genes showed no significant association with the disease. The frequency of DQB1 genotypes encoding the amino acid aspartic acid at position 57 of the DQ beta chain did not differ significantly between subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and controls. These findings suggest that a susceptibility allele for IDDM in the Japanese is more closely associated with the DQA1 gene than the DQB1 gene.

Polymorphisms in HLA class II genes have been shown to contribute to susceptibility or protection against insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In the present study the role of HLA class II haplotypes and the role of DQ alpha Arg52, DQ beta Asp57 and of polymorphic amino acids, located in the antigen-binding groove and the CD4-binding domain of the DR beta 1 chain, were studied in 210 unrelated Caucasian IDDM patients and 205 controls. The results showed that the genotype homozygous for DR beta 1Lys71+, which is in linkage disequilibrium with DQ alpha 1Arg52+ provided a major risk (relative risk, RR = 15.46) for IDDM and that combination of DR beta 1Lys71+/+ with homozygosity for DQ beta qAsp57-/- of the DQ beta 1 chain significantly increased the RR for developing IDDM (RR = 20.41). The DQ alpha 1Arg52(-)-DQ beta 1Asp57+ haplotype in cis or trans position conferred the highest protection against IDDM (RR = 0.08). Our findings confirm that protection against IDDM is provided by HLA-DQ loci but that susceptibility for IDDM is provided by both HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 loci. Our results also provide a new and more specific approach to determine the risk of any random Caucasian individual to develop IDDM. Indeed, increased susceptibility or protection against IDDM can be determined by the rapid and simple typing of DR beta 1Lys71, DQ alpha 1Arg52 and DQ beta 1Asp57 in a random person.

LMP2 and LMP7, two subunits of the proteasomes encoded in the major histocompatibility complex, are speculated to play a role in the generation of endogenous peptides for presentation by class I molecules to cytotoxic T cells. Their possible role in the pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has not been documented. In this study of Caucasian subjects, we have analyzed the polymorphisms of four genes within the HLA class II region (LMP2, LMP7, and HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1) in 198 unrelated IDDM patients and 192 normal controls ascertained from the southeastern United States. A genomic polymorphism of LMP7 was found strongly associated with IDDM, and the Arg/His-60 polymorphism in LMP2 was found associated with IDDM only in subjects containing an HLA DR4-DQB1*0302 haplotype. To determine whether the apparent associations between LMP genes and IDDM resulted from the strong linkage disequilibria observed between LMP and HLA-DR/DQ genes, we compared LMP gene frequencies in extended LMP-HLA haplotypes derived from control and diabetic families. Our results suggest that LMP genes have independent effects on IDDM susceptibility.

Although HLA class II genes are important in insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD), their influence on the expression of IDD-associated autoantibodies (aAb) is unclear. We compared HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 gene frequencies in several Caucasian groups: 191 normal controls, 378 IDD patients, and 357 non-diabetic relatives of which 250 had no aAb, 107 had at least one aAb (79 ICA+, 31 GAD65+ and 49 IAA+), and 23 had both ICA+ and IAA+. We found that the frequencies of DR3/4 or DQB1*0201/0302 heterozygotes were significantly higher in aAb+ relatives compared to aAb- relatives. The frequencies of DR4/4 or DR4/X (X = non 3 or 4) and DQB1*0302/X (X = 0201 or 0302) in aAb+ relatives were not different from the aAb- relatives (which were enriched for these haplotypes), but were significantly higher than normal controls. The frequencies of DR3/X or DQB1*0201/X were decreased in both aAb+ relatives and IDD patients. Interestingly, the dominant IDD-protective DQB1*0602 allele allowed the development of individual aAbs (10% of ICA+ and 8% IAA+ relatives had the allele), but was not observed in any high risk double aAb+, or GAD65Ab+ relatives. The latter finding was similar to that in our patients with IDD, in that only two of them (0.5%) had a DQB1*0602 allele. In conclusion, HLA-encoded susceptibilities to disease-relevant autoantibody production and IDD are concordant with the susceptibility alleles, but discordant for the protective DQB1*0602. Thus HLA genotyping for DQB1*0602 would impact on the selection of aAb+ relatives for disease prevention trials.

We examined the prevalence of HLA-DRB1, DQB1, DQA1 and TAP2 genes in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 diabetes). These HLA and TAP2 alleles were identified by dot-blot analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified genomic DNA with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. The results show that those DQB1 alleles, which carry non-aspartic acid at position 57, in conjunction with DQA1 alleles carrying arginine at position 52, are strongly associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. The prevalence of the TAP2* 0201 allele in diabetic patients was significantly lower than that in normal controls. Analysis of the data suggests that DQ alleles have the primary association with type 1 diabetes and that the association of TAP2 alleles with the disease is secondary.

We examined HLA Class II antigens in 116 Japanese IDDM patients [84 typical IDDM (T-IDD); 32 slowly progressive IDDM (S-IDD)] by the hybridization protection assay (HPA) which is a novel HLA typing method based on hybridization of acridinium-ester-labeled DNA probes to amplified DNA. We detected HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 genes by this method which is capable of analyzing over 50 samples within 4 h with high sensitivity. Positive associations were found in DRB1*0405, DRB1*0802, DRB1*0901, DQA1*0301, DQB1*0303 and DQB1*0401, negative correlations in DRB1*0403, DR2, DR12, DRB1*0801 or 03, DQA1*0101 or 02, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0301 and DQB1*0602 alleles. The absence of aspartic acid (Asp) at position 57 of the DRB1 chain and the presence of arginine (Arg) at position 52 of the DQA1 chain correlated positively with both types of IDDM. There were no significant differences in HLA between T-IDD and S-IDD. These results suggest that the absence of Asp at position 57 of the DRB1 chain and the presence of Arg at position 52 of the DQA1 chain are significant Japanese IDDM patients and that DRB1*0802, in which the amino acid at position 57 is aspartic acid, may play a role in the pathogenesis of IDDM. Also, T-IDD and S-IDD have common bases in the HLA gene.

Inherited susceptibility to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is partly determined by HLA genes. It has been suggested that protection from disease may be conferred by HLA-DQB1 genes which encode molecules with aspartate at position 57. We investigated the contributions of HLA-DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 genes to protection from disease. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequence specific oligonucleotide analysis in 156 British Caucasian Type 1 diabetic and 116 control subjects showed protection from disease was associated with DR2, DRw6 and DR7 haplotypes. The most protective DQA1 allele was DQA1*0102 which occurred on both DR2 and DRw6 haplotypes. The DQB1 alleles DQB1*0303, DQB1*0602 and DQB1*0603 were associated with protection, as was DQB1*0604, which encodes an Asp-57 negative DQ beta molecule. Heterozygosity for both protective and predisposing HLA markers was reduced in diabetic compared with control subjects. We conclude that both DQA1 and DQB1 genes are implicated in HLA-associated protection from Type 1 diabetes in this British Caucasian population. The overall structure of the DQ heterodimer is critical and DQ beta-Asp 57 is of secondary importance in determining protection from disease. The effect of protective HLA types may predominate over that of predisposing markers.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles were analyzed using a PCR-based sequence-specific priming technique in 16 patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type I (APS-I), 31 patients with APS-II, and 110 patients with component diseases of APS-II, including 9 patients with isolated Addison's disease, 43 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 22 patients with Graves' disease, and 36 patients with vitiligo. No significant associations was observed between HLA and APS-I patients in our data set, nor was sharing of HLA haplotypes by sibling pairs affected by APS I significantly different from the random expectation. Thus, HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genes are probably not involved in APS-I. To delineate the associations between HLA-DRB1, DQB1, and APS-II, we analyzed APS-II patients with or without beta-cell autoimmunity [i.e. insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) and/or islet cell or glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies]. Our results suggest that the association between DR4-DQB1*0302 and APS-II was entirely due to the presence of pancreatic beta-cell autoimmunity, since this haplotype was otherwise not significantly associated with APS-II or with any other of its component diseases. In contrast, the DR3-DQB1*0201 haplotype was associated not only with IDD, but also with APS-II in the absence of pancreatic beta-cell autoimmunity, as were several its component diseases, including isolated Addison's disease, Graves' disease, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Interestingly, the frequency of DQB1*0602, a dominantly protective allele against IDD, was not significantly decreased in the APS-II patients with IDD or beta-cell autoimmunity, albeit the patient numbers were small. This phenomenon may suggest that the development of autoimmunity to nonpancreatic endocrine glands may predispose autoimmunity to the pancreatic beta-cells and involve genes other than those of the MHC.

PMID:Although DR3-DQB1*0201 may be associated with multiple component diseases of the autoimmune polyglandular syndromes, the human leukocyte antigen DR4-DQB1*0302 haplotype is implicated only in beta-cell autoimmunity. 867 78

Affected sib pair and linkage disequilibrium analysis, intrafamilial and case-control association studies were performed on 81 Danish multiplex insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) families (382 individuals) and 82 healthy Danish controls. The results confirm the linkage of D15S107 to IDDM in these Danish IDDM families (P = 0.010). When these data are combined with those of previous studies, an even stronger case for linkage can be made (P = 0.0005). Our analyses show that the D15S107*130 allele provides increased susceptibility (P = 0.02, relative risk = 3.55) and that the D15S107 locus contributes up to 16% of the familial clustering of IDDM. The analysis of affected sib pairs suggests that HLA and D15S107 may possibly act independently of each other. Taken together with our previous findings, our results suggest that three causes of susceptibilities can be discerned in the IDDM patient population: (1) a major susceptibility caused by the HLA-DRB1 alleles; (2) a minor susceptibility caused by the joint action of HLA and other non-HLA gene(s); and (3) a minor susceptibility caused by non-HLA gene(s).

The T-cell receptor beta locus (TCRB) on chromosome 7q35 was studied as a candidate region for genetic susceptibility to type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM). A highly polymorphic microsatellite marker mapping to the TCRBV6.7 gene and a TCRB C-region RFLP were used to genotype the members of a total of 21 multiplex IDDM families from two different geographical areas. There was no evidence to support linkage to either of these markers with IDDM, and conventional two-point analysis excluded linkage to the telomeric end of the TCRB complex, in the region of the highly informative TCRBV6.7 marker. There was significant linkage of IDDM to the class II HLA-D locus with significant lod scores > 3.0 obtained for the HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 genes. Affected sib-pair (ASP) and transmission disequilibrium (TDT) association tests confirmed these findings.
