Risk factors associated with the human leucocyte antigen system in Lebanese patients with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Autoimmune diseases caused by pathogenic IgG4 subclass autoantibodies (IgG4-AID) include diseases like MuSK myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Their etiology is still unknown. Polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene locus, particularly in HLA-DRB1, are known genetic susceptibility factors for autoimmune diseases. We hypothesized a similar role for HLA polymorphisms in IgG4-AID and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis with case–control studies on IgG4-AID based on MOOSE/ HuGENet guidelines. Genotype (G) and allele (A) frequencies of HLA-DQB1*05 (G: OR 3.8; 95% CI 2.44–5.9; p < 0.00001; A: OR 2.54; 95% CI 1.82–3.55; p < 0.00001) and HLA-DRB1*14 (G: OR 4.31; 95% CI 2.82–6.59; p < 0.00001; A: OR 4.78; 95% CI 3.52–6.49; p < 0.00001) and the HLA-DRB1*14-DQB1*05 haplotype (OR 6.3; 95% CI 3.28–12.09; p < 0.00001/OR 4.98; 95% CI 3.8–6.53; p < 0.00001) were increased while HLA-DRB1*13 (G: OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.34–0.68; p < 0.0001; A: OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.34–0.62; p < 0.00001) was decreased in IgG4-AID patients. In conclusion, the HLA-DQB1*05, HLA-DRB1*14 alleles and the HLA-DQB1*05-DRB1*14 haplotype could be genetic risk factors that predispose for the production of pathogenic IgG4 autoantibodies and the HLA-DRB1*13 allele may protect from IgG4 autoimmunity.
