The frequencies of the major histocompatibility complex class I, class II and class III antigens were determined in 130 patients (88 women and 42 men) with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, and compared with those of 764 healthy controls. A significant increase in HLA-B7 (38.0% in the patients vs. 25.8% in the control group), HLA-B8 (29.5% vs. 17.4%), HLA-Cw7 (58.9% vs. 26.1%), HLA-DR2 (46.9% vs. 29.7%), HLA-DR3 (32.0% vs. 19.4%), HLA-DQw1 (76.6% vs. 60.5%), and a decrease in HLA-A2 (41.9% vs. 55.7%) was found. The calculated relative risk values for the respective antigens markedly increased when two or more antigens were present in one patient, with a maximum relative risk value of 7.4 for the combinations of HLA-Cw7, DR3, DQw1 and HLA-B7, Cw7 and DR3, which were found in 17.2% of the patients and in only 2.3% of the controls.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008179 Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid A chronic form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, CUTANEOUS) in which the skin lesions mimic those of the systemic form but in which systemic signs are rare. It is characterized by the presence of discoid skin plaques showing varying degrees of edema, erythema, scaliness, follicular plugging, and skin atrophy. Lesions are surrounded by an elevated erythematous border. The condition typically involves the face and scalp, but widespread dissemination may occur.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D004198 Disease Susceptibility A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D006683 HLA-DQ Antigens A group of the D-related HLA antigens found to differ from the DR antigens in genetic locus and therefore inheritance. These antigens are polymorphic glycoproteins comprising alpha and beta chains and are found on lymphoid and other cells, often associated with certain diseases.

D015236 HLA-C Antigens Class I human histocompatibility (HLA) antigens encoded by a small cluster of structural genes at the C locus on chromosome 6. They have significantly lower immunogenicity than the HLA-A and -B determinants and are therefore of minor importance in donor/recipient crossmatching. Their primary role is their high-risk association with certain disease manifestations (e.g., spondylarthritis, psoriasis, multiple myeloma). Antigens, HLA-C,HLA-C,Antigens, HLA C,HLA C Antigens
