Twenty-six unrelated Spanish Caucasian individuals affected by pemphigus vulgaris (PV) were HLA typed and frequencies compared with those of 200 ethnically matched healthy controls. Twenty-three out of 26 patients were HLA-DR4. The frequency of HLA-DR14 was also increased (31%; controls: 4%). Of the 23 patients positive for HLA-DR4, 21 carried the DRB1*0402 allele. Therefore, the frequency of HLA-DRB1*0402 among patients was 81% (4% in controls; P=4.7x10(-27), OR=100.8). Interestingly, HLA-DR13, a frequent HLA-DR specificity in the Spanish general population (27%), was absent among the PV patients (P=0.009; Pc=0.1; OR=0.05). Taking together these data, we can conclude that, in the Spanish population, PV is preferentially and strongly associated with HLA-DRB1*0402, whereas DRB1*13 seems to confer a protective effect in our population.

D010392 Pemphigus Group of chronic blistering diseases characterized histologically by ACANTHOLYSIS and blister formation within the EPIDERMIS. Pemphigus Vulgaris,Pemphigus Foliaceus,Foliaceus, Pemphigus
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).

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans.

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.
