Women of the Yakima Indian Nation, a northwest Native American population, are known to have an increased prevalence of a rheumatoid arthritis-like disease characterized by erosive arthritis, frequent involvement of metacarpophalangeal and wrist joints, and positive rheumatoid factor. These patients are frequently positive for antinuclear antibodies and often demonstrate adverse reactions to gold therapy. HLA antigens were determined for 29 Yakima Indians with this disease, but there was no increased frequency of either HLA-Dw4 or HLA-DR4, in contrast to other populations with rheumatoid arthritis. There was, however, a trend toward an increase in HLA-B40 and a decrease in HLA-DR8. The relative risk for rheumatoid arthritis in Yakima Indians was 2.53 in the presence of B40 and 0.28 in the presence of DR8.

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.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
