OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess the association between HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 allele groups with the genetic predisposition to multiple sclerosis (MS) in the Caucasian Central European Slovak population. METHODS A total of 282 unrelated patients with sporadic MS were enrolled in this case-control study. HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 allele groups were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers. The DRB1 and DQB1 allele carrier frequencies, genotypes and haplotype frequencies were compared between MS cases and healthy controls. RESULTS Positive association with MS was found for alleles HLA-DRB1*15 (OR = 3.64; Pcor = 6.9x10-11), DRB1*03 (after elimination of carriers of DRB1*15, OR = 2.8; Pcor = 0.0029), DQB1*06 (OR = 1.99; Pcor = 7.0x10-4), genotypes HLA-DRB1*15/*15 (OR = 7.6; Pcor = 0.001) and DQB1*06/*06 (OR = 3.81; Pcor = 4.0x10-4) and for haplotype DRB1*15-DQB1*06 (OR = 3.03; Pcor = 0.001). Carriage of alleles DRB1*07 (OR = 0.53; Pcor = 0.04), DRB1*13 (OR = 0.39; Pcor = 4.0x10-4), DQB1*03 (OR = 0.46; Pcor = 1.0x10-4), genotypes HLA-DRB1*13/*11 (OR = 0.12; Pcor = 0.004), DQB1*05/*03 (OR = 0.39; Pcor = 0.035), DQB1*03/*03 (OR = 0.38; Pcor = 0.029) and haplotypes DRB1*13-DQB1*06 (OR = 0.47; Pcor = 0.0128) and DRB1*11-DQB1*03 (OR = 0.58; Pcor = 0.0352) was found to be protective against MS development. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study performed to analyse the association of HLA-DRB1/DQB1 with susceptibility to MS in Slovakia. The results of our study confirm that HLA class II alleles, genotypes and haplotypes are associated with MS risk.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
