The typing of 22 HLA-A and B antigens in members of 13 families with one child having juvenile diabetes mellitus showed a statistically significant higher frequency of HLA-B8 antigen in sick children (51.54%) as well as high parental heredity rate of this antigen, as compared to 301 normal subjects and 51 normal children of families free from diabetes mellitus. The agreement of 85.71% in one or two haplotypes in diabetic and healthy siblings in 7 families involved antigens other than B8. The results of these family studies confirm the existing relationship between HLA-B8 and juvenile diabetes mellitus as demonstrated by repeated screenings of the patients populations. The relationship of HLA antigens to insulin-dependent juvenile diabetes mellitus has been studied by many authors. The issues of their studies on patient populations revealed HLA-DR3, Dw3, DR4, Dw4, B8, B18, B15, B40, Cw3 and secondarily A1 and A2 to occur with significantly higher frequency. On the other hand, antigens DR2, Dw2, B7 (secondarily A3 and A11) are statistically less frequent in this disease, and their presence therefore means a certain protection against the risk of diabetes (4, 6, 7, 11, 15, 21). Individual authors' family studies differ in conclusions as to the occurrence of some of the above HLA antigens, and the degree of HLA identity of two siblings, one with diabetes, the other one normal (6, 8, 12, 17). For this reason we decided to start investigations on the occurrence of HLA A and B antigens in family members with one child having juvenile diabetes mellitus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The HLA status of South African black Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with age of onset under 35 years was compared with that of healthy black control subjects. HLA-A, B and C antigens were determined in 94 patients and 995 control subjects, while DR typing was carried out on 56 patients and 195 control subjects. There was a significant increase in the frequency of DR4 in patients as compared with control subjects (p less than 0.01; relative risk 3.4). DR3/DR4 heterozygosity was associated with a greater relative risk for developing Type 1 diabetes mellitus (3.7) than the presence of DR3 alone (relative risk 1.6). A significant negative association was observed between the presence of BW42 and Type 1 diabetes in this population sample (p less than 0.04; relative risk 0.3). A similar trend was observed with regard to DR2, the corrected p value just attaining statistical significance (p less than 0.05; relative risk 0.1).

We studied fifty patients with painless thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis (PTTT) and a low radioiodine thyroidal uptake. In 25 PTTT occurred post-partum (P) and in the remainder was unrelated to pregnancy (U). Seventeen patients with classical subacute thyroiditis were studied for comparison. All patients were typed for HLA-A, B, C, DR antigens. Four of the P patients had recurrences with each pregnancy; two had one previous attack of U; three had a maternal history of Graves' disease; 76% of the P patients had small to moderate goitres and 76% antimicrosomal antibody titres at greater than 1:400. HLA-B35 was found in 24% of P patients compared to 17% of controls; 71% of patients with subacute thyroiditis were, by contrast, B35. Two of P were HLA-B8 positive (versus 25% of controls); 11 patients were HLA-DR3 positive and 15 (60%) HLA-DR5 positive compared to 23% and 27% of controls yielding a relative risk (RR) = 2.50 (P less than 0.05) and 3.83 (P less than 0.005), respectively. All four P patients with recurrences carried HLA-DR5. Thirteen of 25 patients in the U subgroup were HLA-DR3, yielding a RR = 3.38 (P less than 0.01); seven were HLA-DR5, with a non-significant RR = 1.12; four of U had first degree relatives with either autoimmune thyroid disorders or Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Thus, both P and U are associated with HLA-DR3, the P subgroup had in addition an increased frequency of DR5. The observed HLA associations for the PTTT syndromes favours an autoimmune rather than viral aetiology.

This report deals with the question of the susceptibility for IDD association with the recently described HLA-linked SB system. The SB system is located centromeric of HLA-DR between HLA-DR and GLO. At present five specificities of the SB system, which behave as alleles, can be recognized. A total of 40 IDD patients and 96 normal controls were characterized for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR and SB antigens. Our results confirmed the strong positive association of IDD with HLA-DR3 and -DR4 and the negative association of IDD with HLA-DR2. The genetic analysis of the SB system and IDD, however, demonstrated no significant association between alleles of SB and susceptibility for IDD. The analysis of association between alleles of HLA-DR and SB revealed no significant linkage disequilibrium in IDD patients and a significant linkage disequilibrium between SB1 and HLA-DR3 in the controls. These results suggest that the genes associated with susceptibility for IDD are primarily coded for telomeric of SB and tightly linked with HLA-DR.

HLA frequency distributions in Fiji Indians with non-insulin dependent diabetes were compared with those in control subjects with confirmed two-hour plasma glucose levels less than 7.8 mmol/L. Antigen frequencies at HLA-A and HLA-DR loci were similar in patients and controls. At HLA-B, there was a significant increase in Bw61 (Bw40.2) in diabetics, with a relative risk for this antigen of 4.8. Since a similar finding has been reported previously in South African Indians with Insulin-dependent diabetes, it is possible that wer have defined yet another genetically-distinct form of diabetes, especially prevalent in Indians. Alternatively, definition of new HLA alleles such as Bw61, a new subdivision of an established antigen, may reveal HLA associations with non-insulin dependent diabetes in European Caucasians also.

The association between insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and the HLA system was studied in two groups of Jewish patients: 50 Ashkenazim and 42 non-Ashkenazim. The pattern of association of HLA-A and B locus antigens was somewhat different from that observed in European Caucasian patients. HLA-B8 had a higher frequency; B15 and Cw3 were rare in the population studied and were less frequent in IDDM patients than in controls. On the other hand, the frequency of A26, B18, and Bw38 was increased in Ashkenazi patients, but not in non-Ashkenazim, who in turn showed an increase for Bw51. Although the association between IDDM and HLA-A and B locus antigens shows a marked variability in different populations, the association with HLA-DR3 and DR4 is constant feature. There was a typical excess of DR3/DR4 heterozygotes in both patient groups. This heterozygote type carries the highest relative risk, followed by DR4/DR4 homozygotes. These data can well be interpreted by a model of two different HLA-linked susceptibility genes, one associated with DR3 and the other one with DR4, that interact so that different genotypes are associated with different levels of penetrance. This model received further support from studies in 15 multiple case families where there is an excess of affected sib pairs sharing two DR antigens.

The Basques were previously shown to present a high frequency of HLA-B18 and BfF1, which are known to be associated with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). During the VIII International Histocompatibility Workshop, we studied HLA-A, B, C, DR; Bf, C4 and GLO.I polymorphisms in 51 unrelated French Basque IDDM patients and in 50 controls. Haplotypes were established by family studies in all controls and some patients. Two haplotypes were frequently found in the controls: HLA-A1, Bw57, BfS, C4 F1S, DR7 and HLA-Aw30, Cw5, B18, Bf F1, C4Fs degree, DR3. The first one was not found in the patients. All the components of the second haplotype had increased frequencies possibly as a consequence of linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DR3: a highly significant association between IDDM and HLA-DR3 was observed (90.2% vs 24.0%, relative risk (RR) = 29.1, P less than 10(-11)). The HLA-DR4 frequency was slightly increased (37.3% vs 16.0%), and HLA-DR2 was not found. The silent allele C4s degree was particularly associated with early diagnosed IDDM (86.7% in patients with age at onset under 20 years vs 57.1% in other patients, P less than 0.02). The high relative risk for HLA-DR3/DR4 heterozygous vs that of individuals, possibly HLA-DR3 homozygous, supported the hypothesis that two HLA-DR linked genetic factors could be involved in the inheritance of IDDM susceptibility.

Sixty-four Japanese insulin dependent juvenile onset diabetes mellitus (JOD) were studied in relation to HLA-A, B, and DR. Significant deviations were observed. HLA-Bw54 was increased (PF = 49.2%, RR = 6.4) and HLA-B5 was decreased (PF = 7.9%, RR = 0.19). Using radioimmunoassay, two HLA-DR antigens were investigated. Hon 7 antigen, so-called MT3 (WIA4x7), which has linkage disequilibrium between HLA-BW54, is highly associated (PF = 96.9%, RR = 27.8) with JOD found in the Japanese.

Seventy-four North American Caucasian insulin dependent diabetics are presented and compared to 100 healthy controls relative to HLA-A and B locus antigens. A highly significant increase in the frequency of HLA-B8 was found (p < 0.01, relative risk 3.67). The presence of HLA-A11 conferred statistically significant protection against disease development in these patients (p < 0.01, relative risk 0.19). There was no significant difference in the frequency of HLA-B7, B8, or B15 between the study and control groups. The patient group does show a significant increase in heterozygosity for HLA-B8 and HLA-B15 when compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05, relative risk 7.17). Increased incidence of HLA-B18 has previously been noted in French and English populations only. Since most of our HLA-B18 patients are of English extraction, it is concluded tht the altered incidence of the HLA-B18 allele in insulin dependent diabetes does persist in this migratory European population.

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is often accompanied by manifestations of autoimmunity and is frequently associated with certain HLA haplotypes, predominantly DR3 and DR4. Because the major histocompatibility antigens are important determinants of the immune response in various tissues, we have investigated their expression on the pancreatic islet cells. Human, mouse, or rat islets of Langerhans, as well as lymphocytes or other differentiated cells, were biosynthetically labeled with radioactive amino acids, lysed in detergent, and immunoprecipitated with several antisera specific for major histocompatibility antigenic groups. The immunoprecipitates were analyzed by NaDodSo4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions followed by autoradiography. The major histocompatibility antigens corresponding to the H-2 K,D molecules in mice, the H1-A in rats, and the HLA-A, -B, and -C in humans were precipitated from both islet and lymphocyte lysates and were accompanied by beta 2-microglobulin. Binding of H-2 antibodies to islet cells was also confirmed by a radioligand assay using 125I-labeled protein A and by indirect immunofluorescence. Analyses in the fluorescence-activated cell sorter revealed that greater than 95% of the cells in the beta-cell-rich fraction were fluorescent, providing further evidence that the pancreatic beta cells express the major histocompatibility antigens. Monoclonal antibodies or mouse alloantisera against HLA-DR or Ia antigens did not react with labeled pancreatic islet cell proteins.
