Fifty-seven Thai IDDM patients were studied for HLA class I by LCT and HLA class II by LCT and PCR-RFLP. It was found that DRB1*0301, DR3, DQB1*0201, DRB3*0202, DQA1*0501 and DQ2 were significantly increased with R.R. = 10.0, 6.6, 4.2, 3.7, 3.5 and 3.2 and Pc < 0.005, 0.001, 0.01, 0.005, 0.01 and 0.005, respectively. In contrast, DQA1*0101, DRB3*0301, DR5 and DQ1 were significantly decreased with R.R. = 0.2, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 and Pc < 0.01, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.05, respectively. The primary factor for IDDM susceptibility is probably DRB1. The homozygous Asp57/Asp57 DQB1 genotype appears to determine resistance to IDDM while Arg52-DQA1, non-Asp57-DQB1 haplotype confers susceptibility to IDDM. The common haplotypes in Thai IDDM cases were DRB1*0301, DRB3*0202, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0201, DPB1*0401 and DRB1*0405, DQA1*0301, DQB1*0402 (or 0401 or 0302), DPB1*0401 (or 0301 or 1501). The less common haplotypes were DRB1*0406, DQA1*0301, DPB1*0302, DPB1*0501 and DRB1*1202, DRB1*0301, DQA1*0601, DQB1*0301, DPB1*0501. DR3 was increased in both gender groups with early onset (< 10 years) regardless of a family history of DM. However, DR3/DR4 genotype was increased only in female patients with a family history of DM and early onset. In conclusion, DRB1, DRB3, DQA1 and DQB1, but not DPB1 are involved in the occurrence of IDDM. The cooperation of HLA class II and X-chromosome may contribute to the development of IDDM in addition to other factors such as other genetic (chromosomes 11, 19, 14, 7), immunologic and environmental factors which require further study.

IDDM results from the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells. Clinicopathologic heterogeneity in IDDM is reflected in part by the wide age range over which the onset of clinical symptoms can occur, after months to years of subclinical "insulitis." Because MHC genes play a critical role in immune function we studied their possible contribution to IDDM heterogeneity by analyzing HLA profiles of 194 IDDM patients in relation to their age at diagnosis. Restriction of HLA-DR heterogeneity was observed in patients diagnosed before age 21 years. Frequencies of DR3 and DR3/4 were highest in the < or = 6-year-old age group and thereafter declined with increasing age at diagnosis. In contrast, the frequency of DR4 remained increased up to age 30 years at diagnosis. DR7, normally considered to be a neutral allele, was like DR2 and DR5, significantly decreased in patients diagnosed before age 21 years. The A30-B18-DR3 haplotype was significantly increased in the < or = 6-year-old age group, A1-B8-DR3 was increased in the > or = 31-year-old group. B62-DR4 was increased only in the > 12-year-old age group. In DR4 patients the frequency of DQ8 was increased across all age groups. A sex difference was observed in those diagnosed at < or = 12 years of age, with an excess of females in the DR3+/DR4- group and males in the DR3-/DR4+ group. An association of DPB1 with IDDM was revealed by an increased frequency overall of DPB1*0301 and/or DPB1*0401, being more pronounced in patients diagnosed at > 20 years of age.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

HLA-DQA1 and DPB1 alleles were examined in relation to autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in the Japanese type 1 diabetic patients. The subjects consisted of 14 type 1 diabetic patients with Graves' disease, 12 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 32 type 1 diabetic patients without AITD. Comparisons were made with 35 normal controls. Among the type 1 diabetic patients with Graves' disease, the age at onset of diabetes was 31.8 +/- 14.6 years old, which was later than that of those without AITD (P < 0.01). DR9 was increased (57.1% vs. 25.9%, P < 0.05, RR: 3.85, chi 2:4.36) in the patients with Graves' disease. DQA1*0301 was increased and DQA1*0103 was decreased in the patients with Graves' disease and those without AITD. HLA-DPB1*0501 was increased (92.9% vs. 54.3%, P < 0.05, RR: 11.0, chi 2:6.57) in the patients with Graves' disease. These findings suggest the existence of a Graves' complicated subgroup characterized by the increasing association of DPB1*0501 and late onset of diabetes in Japanese type 1 diabetic patients. There exists a heterogeneity in Japanese type 1 diabetes.

The allelic constitution at HLA class II DRB1, DQB1, DQA1, and DPB1 loci of IDDM patients from Taiwan was compared with that of ethnically matched nondiabetic individuals by PCR-based DNA typing. Of the three haplotypes found to be positively associated with IDDM in Taiwan, two (DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 and DR4-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302) appear to be identical to the susceptible haplotypes in Caucasian and black populations, whereas the third haplotype (DR4-DQA1*0301-DQB1*04) has been reported to be positively associated with IDDM only in the Japanese population. The three haplotypes, DRB1*1502-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0601 and DRB1*1201 (or 1202)-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0301 and DRB1*0803-DQA1*0103-DQB1*0601, were negatively associated with IDDM in Taiwan; a protective effect of the last haplotype has not been reported previously. Neither DQ beta non-Asp-57 nor DQA1*0301 alone appears sufficient to account for the HLA-associated susceptibility to IDDM in Taiwan. Also, the DQ alpha beta heterodimer encoded by the alleles DQA1*0301/DQB1*0201, DQA1*0301/DQB1*0302, or DQA1*0501/DQB1*0201 does not explain the susceptibility of a larger fraction of the IDDM patients than the residue at position 57 of the DQ beta chain or DQA1*0301. Finally, the DRB1 alleles appear to affect IDDM susceptibility, although for most haplotypes the effect of individual loci cannot be assessed due to the linkage disequilibrium between the DQ and the DR region.

Susceptibility to IDDM has been associated with specific alleles at the HLA class II loci in a variety of human populations. Previous studies among Mexican-Americans, a group ancestrally derived from Native Americans and Hispanic whites, showed that the DR4 haplotypes (DRB1*0405-DQB1*0302 and DRB1*0402-DQB1*0302) and the DR3 haplotype (DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201) were increased among patients and suggested a role for both DR and DQ alleles in susceptibility and resistance. Based on the analysis of 42 Mexican-American IDDM families and ethnically matched control subjects by polymerase chain reaction/sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe typing, we report an association of IDDM with the DPB1 allele, *0301 (relative risk = 6.6; P = 0.0012) in this population. The analysis of linkage disequilibrium patterns in this population indicates that the observed increased frequency in DPB1*0301 among patients cannot be attributed simply to linkage disequilibrium with high-risk DR-DQ haplotypes. These data suggest that in addition to alleles at the DRB1 and DQB1 loci, polymorphism at the DPB1 locus may also influence IDDM risk.

MHC class II genes play an important role in the autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic b-cell occurring in IDDM. The genetic pattern of the disease was investigated in Mexican Mestizos. The serological findings of HLA antigens showed a significant association of DR3, DR4, DQ2 and DQ8 and a protective effect of DR11, DR15, DQ5, DQ6 and DQ7. With these results, DNA analysis of HLA-DRB1, B3, B4, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1 genes was performed using PCR with allele specific oligotyping. Among the patients, 92.78 carry DQA1 alleles that have ARG in position 52 of DQa chain, and 78.2% are ASP- in DQ5-57. The RR for homozygotes is 32.8 and 5.6, respectively. The main haplotype involved is DRB1*0405, DQA1*0301, DQB1*0302. Thus, DQa and DQb form a relevant recognition site for the "diabetogenic peptidett which induces the autoimmune destruction. Positions 57 and 74 of DRB1 locus contribute highly to the expression and severity of IDDM in Mestizos and other ethnic groups, but not in Caucasians or Blacks.

In this study, we report type 1 diabetes age-of-onset association with HLA class II (DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1) and class I (A) genes in 222 multiplex families from the Human Biological Data Interchange. Linear regression showed a small (R2 = 0.26) but significant correlation in the ages of onset among sib pairs. A strong association in age of onset between members of sib pairs was observed when the analysis was performed using contingency tables that split sibs into three age-at-onset ranges (0-10, 11-20, and 21-36 years). The association is strongest for sib pairs that share both haplotypes and is nonsignificant for sib pairs that do not share any DR-DQ haplotypes. A goodness-of-fit test revealed that DR-DQ haplotype sharing cannot account for all the association in age of onset among sib pairs. The age-of-onset distribution of DR-DQ haplotypes is affected by the DPB1 and A alleles present. The strongest associations were found with the A locus: DR3/DR4 genotype frequency decreases with age of onset in this data set only among A*0101- individuals, and A*2402 is strongly associated with younger age of onset in many DR-DQ haplotypes.

HLA-DPB1 genotypes were determined for samples from 269 multiplex Caucasian families from the Human Biological Data Interchange. DRB1 and DQB1 loci were also characterized, allowing assignment of DPB1 alleles to haplotypes and calculation of linkage disequilibrium values. Frequencies for several DPB1 alleles differed significantly between patients and affected family-based control subjects. Some differences were attributable to linkage disequilibrium with DR and DQ alleles, whereas others were not. DPB1*0301 and DPB1*0202 alleles are predisposing for type 1 diabetes in these data, not only in analyses of individual alleles, but also in genotype analyses. DPB1*0402 appears protective; however, stratification analysis indicates that its protective effect is specific for DR3 haplotypes. A protective role for DPB1*0401 is suggested by genotype analysis. For increased statistical power, DPB1 alleles were pooled into three categories: susceptible, neutral, and protective after removal of effects due to linkage disequilibrium with DR-DQ. Analysis of these pools suggests that DPB1 primarily affects susceptibility to, rather than protection from, type 1 diabetes in a dominant fashion. This effect is more apparent in patients with genotypes other than the highest risk DR3/DR4-DQB1*0302 genotype. These data support a role for the DPB1 locus in conferring susceptibility to type 1 diabetes.

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a polygenic disease caused by progressive autoimmune infiltration (insulitis) of the pancreatic islets of Langerhan, culminating in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Genome scans of families with diabetes suggest that multiple loci make incremental contributions to disease susceptibility. However, only the IDDM1 locus is well characterized, at a molecular and functional level, as alleleic variants of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II HLA-DQB1, DRB1, and DPB1 genes that mediate antigen presentation to T cells. In the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model, the Idd1 locus was shown to be the orthologous MHC gene I-Ab. Inheritance of susceptibility alleles at IDDM1/Idd1 is insufficient for disease development in humans and NOD mice. However, the identities and functions of the remaining diabetes loci (Idd2-Idd19 in NOD mice) are largely undefined. A crucial limitation in previous genetic linkage studies of this disease has been reliance on a single complex phenotype-diabetes that displays low penetrance and is of limited utility for high-resolution genetic mapping. Using the NOD model, we have identified an early step in diabetes pathogenesis that behaves as a highly penetrant trait. We report that NOD-derived alleles at both the Idd5 and Idd13 loci regulate a T lymphocyte-dependent progression from a benign to a destructive stage of insulitis. Human chromosomal regions orthologous to the Idd5 and -13 intervals are also linked to diabetes risk, suggesting that conserved genes encoded at these loci are central regulators of disease pathogenesis. These data are the first to reveal a role for individual non-MHC Idd loci in a specific, critical step in diabetes pathogenesis-T cell recruitment to islet lesions driving destructive inflammation. Importantly, identification of intermediate phenotypes in complex disease pathogenesis provides the tools required to progress toward gene identification at these loci.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) HLA region on chromosome 6p21 contains the major locus of type 1 diabetes (IDDM1). Common allelic variants at the class II HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 loci account for the major part of IDDM1. Previous studies suggested that other MHC loci are likely to contribute to IDDM1, but determination of their relative contributions and identities is difficult because of strong linkage disequilibrium between MHC loci. One prime candidate is the polymorphic HLA-DPB1 locus, which (with the DPA1 locus) encodes the third class II antigen-presenting molecule. However, the results obtained in previous studies appear to be contradictory. Therefore, we have analyzed 408 white European families (200 from Sardinia and 208 from the U.K.) using a combination of association tests designed to directly compare the effect of DPB1 variation on the relative predisposition of DR-DQ haplotypes, taking into account linkage disequilibrium between DPB1 and the DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 loci. In these populations, the overall contribution of DPB1 to IDDM1 is small. The main component of the DPB1 contribution to IDDM1 in these populations appears to be the protection associated with DPB1*0402 on DR4-negative haplotypes. We suggest that the HLA-DP molecule itself contributes to IDDM1.
