HLA DQ alpha and DQ beta cDNA probes were used to study TaqI generated restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in DR4-positive patients with Felty's syndrome (FS), seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and in HLA-DR4 positive controls. The results of this analysis revealed two DQ beta RFLP patterns (DQ beta 3a and DQ beta 3b) associated with DR4, of which DQ beta 3b was found at significantly higher frequency in patients with FS (73%) or with RA (52%) than in DR4 controls (29%). Hind III generated RFLPs provide evidence that DQ beta 3b is in strong linkage disequilibrium with the gene encoding the serologically recognized epitope TA10. Results obtained using a DQ alpha chain probe revealed polymorphic differences between DQ alpha chain genes associated with different DR types, thereby providing a possible explanation for the lack of association between RA and other DR haplotypes in linkage disequilibrium with TA10. We conclude that both DQ alpha and DQ beta genes may be important in determining HLA-linked susceptibility to severe forms of RA.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D006681 HLA-D Antigens Human immune-response or Class II antigens found mainly, but not exclusively, on B-lymphocytes and produced from genes of the HLA-D locus. They are extremely polymorphic families of glycopeptides, each consisting of two chains, alpha and beta. This group of antigens includes the -DR, -DQ and -DP designations, of which HLA-DR is most studied; some of these glycoproteins are associated with certain diseases, possibly of immune etiology.

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.
