Particular HLA–DRB1 shared epitope genotypes are strongly associated with rheumatoid vasculitis

Abstract: Objective. To examine the relationship of the HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) to rheumatoid vasculitis, using individual patient data (IPD) meta-analytic methods.Methods. Published studies that enrolled adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were identified by searches of Medline and Embase, and by manual searches of medical journals. All authors were contacted for IPD. Meta-analyses were performed to assess the association of SE presence, dose, and genotype with rheumatoid vasculitis.Results. A total of 1… Show more

“…The association of candidate genes -such as HLA-DRB1 and PTPN22 -with RA has been well replicated in previous genetic association studies [24,25] . To evaluate the accuracy of the prediction models, we split the entire dataset into a learning set and a validation set, with a 2: 1 ratio.…”

“…Several studies have shown an association between the HLA-DRB1 gene and extraarticular manifestations of RA 2,3 . We analyzed the effect of the HLA-DRB1 gene and cytokine gene polymorphisms on the association of pulmonary fibrosis in Japanese patients with RA.…”

“…18,19 Furthermore, dividing HLA-DRB1 QRRAA alleles into HLA-DRB1*04-QRRAA and HLA-DRB1*01-QRRAA subgroups, a per-allele hierarchy of risk was observed: *0401-QKRAA4*0404-QRRAA4 *0101-QRRAA4*1001-RRRAA. 20 Compound heterozygosity (*0401/*0404 heterozygosity) has been associated with a maximal genotypic risk for RA susceptibility and severity, [21][22][23][24][25] including vasculitis 26 and cardiovascular mortality. 27 It has also been proposed that certain HLA-DRB1 alleles protect against development of RA, compared with other HLA-DRB1 non-SE alleles.…”
