Association of HLA subtype DRB1*0407 in Colombian patients with actinic prurigo

Abstract: HLA subtype DRB1*0407, found in actinic prurigo patients in studies conducted in England, Scotland, Ireland and Mexico, was also associated in Colombian patients. This finding, concordant in patients from different ethnic groups, could be helpful in the diagnosis of this disease and probably important in its pathogenesis. DRB1*01 and DRB1*13 alleles were more frequent in controls than in patients; we do not know whether they play any role in the resistance to the disease.

“…These findings are concordant with studies in Latin America 5,6 and Western Europe 7–9 regarding the role of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles in the pathophysiology of AP; in addition, we propose a class I and class II MHC haplotype and suggest that it would include other genes located within the class I and class II MHC regions, such as tumour necrosis factor and heat shock proteins. The relevant alleles involved in both susceptibility and protection regarding the development of AP (HLA‐DRB1*0407, HLA‐DRB1*1406, HLA‐B39 and HLA‐DRB1*0802) are particularly frequent in Amerindians from Mexico, 10 strongly suggesting that the autochthonous genetic background in the mestizo population is at play.…”
