HLA-DQA1*03:02/DQB1*03:03:02 is strongly associated with susceptibility to childhood-onset ocular myasthenia gravis in Southern Han Chinese.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to investigate the correlation between onset age, clinical features and HLA-DQA1/DQB1 genetic variability in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in Southern Han Chinese. METHODS:205 MG patients and 100 controls were genotyped for HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 using sequence-based typing (SBT) and analyzed for haplotype frequencies. Anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) autoantibodies were measured in all, and muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibodies were tested in AChR antibody negative patients. RESULTS:HLA-DQA1/DQB1 haplotypes showed association only with childhood-onset MG. Haplotype DQA1*03:02/DQB1*03:03:02 (DQ9) was positively associated with the childhood-onset MG, while haplotype DQA1*02:01/DQB1*02:02 and DQA1*05:01:01/DQB1*02:01:01 (DQ2) were negatively associated with this group. Childhood-onset ocular MG patients had an extremely high phenotype frequency of DQ9 haplotype (90.1% of patients, 34.0% of controls, p≤0.0001, OR=17.8). CONCLUSIONS:The childhood-onset ocular MG in Southern Han Chinese may present a particular subgroup of distinct genetic background. Its correlation to the HLA haplotype DQA1*03:02/DQB1*03:03:02 might explain the phenotypic difference of MG between Han Chinese and Caucasians.
