1 6167481 The HLA-B associations (B8, B15 and B18) were clearly secondary to the increases of HLA-D/DR3 and D/DR 4.
2 1356098 These findings suggest that both HLA and non-HLA genes are involved in conferring susceptibility to IDDM, and that the region between HLA-B and BAT3 contains some of the relevant genes.
3 7927538 We have used genomic analysis to characterize a region of the central major histocompatibility complex (MHC) spanning approximately 300 kilobases (kb) between TNF and HLA-B.
4 8803534 B27, B37, B38 and B49) and the probable decrease in the frequency of HLA-B homozygotes in surviving patients (Pcorrected = 0.008) may provide an objective model to explain the maintenance of the HLA polymorphism: less frequent HLA alleles may be more advantageous in the event of unexpected human contact with unusual xenobiotics (not only microbes); however, other mechanisms working together to preserve and generate HLA polymorphism may coexist.
5 17498265 The TNF-alpha-308 G allele was in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*0801-DRB1*0301 haplotype, while TNF-alpha-308 A allele was in LD with the HLA-B*5001-DRB1*0301 and B*5801-DRB1*0301 haplotypes, suggesting that the effect of TNF-alpha -308 A allele is not because of its being in LD with any HLA alleles, but because of its functional role and its integrated effect with other cytokines.
6 17632406 Here we provide evidence that: 1) tryptophan conversion to kynurenines is activated in DCs by cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4, both in a soluble form or anchored to the regulatory T cell (Treg) membrane; 2) an increased IDO-dependent tolerogenesis correlates with the inhibition of DAP12 functions, an adapter molecule associated with activating receptors; 3) a tolerogenic phenotype can be acquired by DCs lacking functional IDO through the paracrine production of kynurenines by IDO-competent DCs; 4) the suppressive effect of Treg generated in a microenvironment with low tryptophan concentration and a mixture of kynurenines can protect mice in an experimental model of fulminant diabetes.
7 20555325 Sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE) is an enzyme that negatively regulates B lymphocyte antigen receptor signalling and is required for the maintenance of immunological tolerance in mice.
8 15592805 The role of regulatory polymorphisms in determining susceptibility to a number of complex disease traits is discussed, including variation at the VNTR of INS, encoding insulin, in type 1 diabetes and polymorphism of CTLA4, encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen, in autoimmune disease.
9 19412418 Although other components of the HLA class I and III regions have also been investigated for association with AID, apart from the association of HLA-B*27 with ankylosing spondylitis, it has been difficult to determine additional susceptibility loci independent of the strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the HLA class II genes.
10 19143813 Preliminary analyses confirm that HLA-B (at 31.4 Mb), HLA-A (at 30.0 Mb) are associated with T1D independently of the class II genes HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 (P = 6.0 x 10(-17) and 8.8 x 10(-13), respectively).
