Human leucocyte antigen and TNFalpha polymorphism association in microscopic colitis.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:Coeliac disease (CD) is common in patients with microscopic colitis (MC). The human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR3-DQ2 haplotype is strongly associated with CD, and there is evidence for an association with MC. We analysed the genetic background of MC by assessing the haplotypes of HLA-DR3-DQ2 and HLA-DR4-DQ8. In addition, TNFalpha gene polymorphism (-308) associated with susceptibility to several autoimmune diseases was studied. METHODS:Eighty patients with MC including 29 with collagenous colitis (CC) and 51 with lymphocytic colitis (LC) were typed for HLA-DR3-DQ2, and HLA-DR4-DQ8 molecule encoding genes using either an allele-specific PCR, or hybridization with sequence-specific oligonucleotides. Duodenal biopsies (N=78) confirmed the diagnosis of CD in 15 (18.8%) patients. TNFalpha(308) alleles were analyzed in 78 patients with MC (27 with CC and 51 with LC). A control group of 3627 patients was used in the HLA study and 178 patients in the TNFalpha study. RESULTS:HLA-DR3-DQ2 haplotype was more frequent in patients with MC (43.8%) including both subgroups (LC, 44.8%; CC, 43.1%; P<0.001), and MC with CD (86.7%; P<0.001) and without CD (33.3%; P=0.003), compared with the controls (18.1%). Similarly, the TNF2 carrier rate was higher in MC (46.2%; P<0.001) including both CC (44.4%; P=0.031) and LC (47.1%; P=0.001), and both MC patients with CD (66.7%; P=0.001) and without CD (39.3%; P=0.019), compared with the controls (23%). CONCLUSION:Both CC and LC are associated with the HLA-DR3-DQ2 haplotype and with TNF2 allele carriage. These associations are present also in MC patients without CD. The shared predisposing HLA-DR3-DQ2 haplotype and the high prevalence of CD in patients with MC suggest an epidemiological overlap, and probably some similarities in the pathogenesis of CD and MC.
