Sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) is characterised by progressive weakness of proximal and distal limb muscles. Most patients are aged over 50 years at disease onset. Muscle biopsy reveals an inflammatory myopathy and cytoplasmic amyloid deposits. The mononuclear infiltrate is dominated by CD8+ T-cells. Several investigators have described associations between s-IBM and certain HLA antigens and alleles. However, to date neither HLA class I nor II alleles have been analysed in a large series of patients. We typed various HLA class I and II alleles in 47 patients suffering from s-IBM using sequence specific-primer pairs (SSPPCR). The results were compared with published German controls. Additional Bonferroni adjustment was performed over all allele groups corresponding to serologically defined antigens within one HLA class I or II locus. After Bonferroni adjustment, we found a significant increase in frequency of the following HLA alleles for s-IBM patients when compared with normal controls: A*03 (p = 0.0002), B*08 (p = 0.002), DRB1*03 (p = 0.0000002), and DQB1*05 (p = 0.02). HLA typing may be helpful to distinguish between subgroups of s-IBM patients. Moreover, HLA analysis may aid in identifying patients who might profit from future therapeutic strategies.

D005802 Genes, MHC Class II Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex that encode polymorphic products which control the immune response to specific antigens. The genes are found in the HLA-D region in humans and include H-2M, I-A, and I-E loci in mice. Class II Genes,Genes, Class II,Genes, HLA Class II,MHC Class II Genes,Class II Gene,Gene, Class II
D005805 Genes, MHC Class I Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex which encode polymorphic characteristics not related to immune responsiveness or complement activity, e.g., B loci (chicken), DLA (dog), GPLA (guinea pig), H-2 (mouse), RT-1 (rat), HLA-A, -B, and -C class I genes of man.

D000483 Alleles Variant forms of the same gene, occupying the same locus on homologous CHROMOSOMES, and governing the variants in production of the same gene product. Allelomorphs,Allele,Allelomorph
D015810 Linkage Disequilibrium Nonrandom association of linked genes. This is the tendency of the alleles of two separate but already linked loci to be found together more frequently than would be expected by chance alone. Disequilibrium, Linkage,Disequilibriums, Linkage,Linkage Disequilibriums
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D018979 Myositis, Inclusion Body Progressive myopathies characterized by the presence of inclusion bodies on muscle biopsy. Sporadic and hereditary forms have been described. The sporadic form is an acquired, adult-onset inflammatory vacuolar myopathy affecting proximal and distal muscles. Familial forms usually begin in childhood and lack inflammatory changes. Both forms feature intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions in muscle tissue.
