Mucous membrane pemphigoid: HLA-DQB1*0301 is associated with all clinical sites of involvement and may be linked to antibasement membrane IgG production

Abstract: The DQB1*0301 allele confers a predisposition to all subgroups of MMP and may have a role in T-cell recognition of basement membrane antigens, resulting in the production of anti-BMZ IgG autoantibodies. The positive trend between increased allelic expression of DQB1*0301 in patients with ocular disease and in those with a higher clinical score, further suggests a role for this allele in disease severity.

“…410 The association of MMP with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) major histocompatibility class II HLA-DQB1*0301 has been demonstrated. 1113 The cause is usually unknown, but there are a few reports of MMP triggered by medications such as methyldopa, clonidine and D-penicillamine. 14, 15 …”

“…Genetic and epidemiological findings have strongly implicated polymorphic sites within MHC class II molecules in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. [26][27][28] Recently HLA-DRB1*11 has been identified as a risk factor for the development of acquired TTP. It has been observed that the HLA-DRB1*11 is more frequent in patients with acquired TTP when compared with a control population.…”
