HLA and T Cell Receptor Polymorphisms in Pauciarticular‐Onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract: The immunogenetic basis of pauciarticular-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is unclear. We therefore analyzed the HLA and T cell receptor genes present in a clinically well-defined group of patients. We found that the DR8 haplotype contributes most of the HLAassociated risk, although alleles at other loci contribute independently. A candidate disease-associated T cell receptor polymorphism, in contrast, was not identified in this population. Mechanistic implications of these findings are discussed.Pauciartic… Show more

“…Although the etiology is not known, several studies have shown that certain class I1 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles are associated with disease susceptibility and are specific for the individual subtype of JRA. For example, HLA-DRB1*0801, HLA-HLA-DQB1*0402, and HLA-DPBl"O201 predispose to pauciarticular JRA, and HLA-DPBl*0301, HLA-DQA1*0401, HLA-DQBl"0402, and HLA-DRB1*0801 predispose to polyarticular JRA (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Various combinations of HLA types and epidemiologic features can confer a relative risk of up to 119, making HLA genes the most important identified genetic risk factor for JRA (9).…”

“…Nepom et al studied 42 patients with JIA and 41 controls and found that DR8 was associated with a higher aetiological fraction than DQ4, but the findings did not reach statistical significance. 8 However, in a similar study of a cohort of 43 DR8 positive patients with JIA and 24 controls van Kerckhove et al found the opposite, concluding that DQ4 is at least as likely a candidate for the primary HLA association in JIA. 9 Another approach used is to analyse sequences of HLA class II alleles associated with JIA.…”
