Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region on chromosome 6p21 encodes the most highly polymorphic loci in the human genome, encoding genes with central roles in the immune function where HLA loci are strongly associated with various immune-mediated diseases such as autoimmunity, allergies and infection. The alleles of HLA class II genes such as DRB1 and DQB1 are the key genetic markers in the development of asthma and have been extensively studied in different ethnicities of the world population. However, the genetic screening of HLA class II alleles and haplotypes in Pakistani asthmatics has not been studied so far. The aim of the present study was to screen the HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 alleles in asthma cases and controls in a Pakistani population. Seven hundred and two healthy controls and asthma patients were genotyped for HLA class II by sequence-specific polymerase chain reaction assays. The HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 allele and haplotype frequencies were calculated, and their risk or protective association with asthma was determined. Two-locus haplotypes of DRB1 and DQB1 alleles were imputed using Arlequin version 3.1 software. The signals of association with asthma were stronger at the DQB1 locus as compared to DRB1. HLA DQB1*03:03:02 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.34-4.25) was significantly associated with an increased risk of asthma, as was the haplotype comprised allele DRB1*07:01-DQB1*03:03:02 (OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.25-4.62). In contrast, DQB1*06 (OR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.22-0.70) and DQB1*06:02 (OR = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.10-0.71) emerged as protective alleles for asthma. Our data concludes that the HLA DQB1*03:03:02 allele was a risk allele for asthma, whereas two DQB1 alleles, DQB1*06 and DQB1*06:02, were associated with asthma protection. Our findings highlight a prominent role for HLA-DQB1 alleles in asthma pathogenesis in studied Pakistani cases. More studies, especially with a larger study cohort are needed to confirm the utility of HLA DQB1*03:03:02 as a predictive marker."xsd:string |
