BACKGROUND There are relatively few studies of HLA class II association either with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). The few available association studies have been carried out by serological techniques, and the results from these studies are inconclusive. METHODS The association between HLA class II genes was studied using molecular genotyping in combination with allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization by polymerase chain reactions. RESULTS In UC (n = 74), we observed a positive association with the HLA DR2 allele (P = 0.008) and negative associations with the DR4 (P = 0.018) and DRw6 (P = 0.028) when compared with ethnically matched controls (n = 77). No associations were observed with any DQ alleles. In contrast, in CD (n = 95) we observed a positive association with the combination of DR1 and DQw5 alleles (P = 0.021). Furthermore, stratifying DR1 and DQw5 alleles indicated that neither allele was independently associated with CD, suggesting that the association was with the haplotype rather than either of the alleles individually. A suballele of DQw5, DQB1*0501, contributed this haplotypic association (P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS DR and DQ molecules firmly separate UC and CD on genetic grounds, suggesting that the contribution of the HLA class II genes to the disease susceptibility is quite different for the two disorders.

D003093 Colitis, Ulcerative Inflammation of the COLON that is predominantly confined to the MUCOSA. Its major symptoms include DIARRHEA, rectal BLEEDING, the passage of MUCUS, and ABDOMINAL PAIN. Colitis Gravis,Idiopathic Proctocolitis,Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis Type,Ulcerative Colitis
D003424 Crohn Disease A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.
