Abstract
MHC associations with IDDM in the Korean population were studied to investigate genetic susceptibility to this disorder. The frequencies of HLA-DR3, -DR4 and -DR9 were significantly higher in diabetic patients. However, the frequency of DR2 was significantly decreased in diabetic patients. DQA1*0301 and DQA1*0501 were positively and DQA1*0102 and DQA1*0201 negatively associated with IDDM. DQB1*0301 and DQB1*0601 were negatively associated with IDDM. Heterodimers DQA1*0301-DQB1*0201, DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 and DQA1*0501-DQB1*0302 were positively associated with DQA1*0102-DQB1*0601 negatively associated with IDDM. The frequencies of DR3-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0201 and -DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 were significantly higher in diabetic patients. The frequencies of DR4-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0201 and DR9-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0303 were significantly higher in diabetic patients. The presence of non-aspartic acid at position 57 of the DQ beta-chain was not associated with susceptibility to IDDM. However, the frequency of Arg 52 homozygotes was significantly higher in diabetic patients. These results suggest a role of the MHC molecule and also suggest racial differences in susceptibility to IDDM even within the Asian populations.Entities:
