Genomic HLA profiles of MS in Hokkaido, Japan: important role of DPB1*0501 allele.
摘要：
The polymorphism of the HLA class II genes was investigated in 97 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in Hokkaido, the northernmost main island of Japan. Of these, 80 patients were classified as having conventional MS and 17 as having opticospinal MS (OS-MS). Our findings confirmed a previous report that the DPB1*0501 allele is positively associated with OS-MS ( P = 0.0043). The frequency of DPB1*0501 was also found to be higher in conventional MS patients than in controls (79% vs. 58%, P = 0.0084), although the differences were not statistically significant. Our results indicate that OS-MS is a DPB1*0501-associated subgroup of MS, and that DPB1*0501 is also correlated with risk of conventional MS in Japanese.
