Abstract:
:Immunoglobulin-A deficiency (IgA-D) is the most common human Ig class deficiency with an estimated frequency of approximately 1 in 500 in the Swedish population. We investigated the immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gene segments (IGHC) in 103 individuals with IgA-D and the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region gene segments (IGHV) in 20 of these, in order to identify a possible molecular basis of the defect. No deletions of IGHV gene segments of the VH2, VH5, and VH6 families or the IGHG genes were observed. In the IGHC, there were, however, differences in the restriction fragment length polymorphism frequencies of IGHG genes where the Bam HI haplotype "H2" [IGHGP, 10 kilobases (kb), IGHG2, 25 kb; and IGHG4, 9.0 kb] was overrepresented. The mean serum levels of IgG4 and IgE were significantly lower in individuals (both IgA-D subjects and healthy controls) homozygous for the H2 haplotype than in individuals homozygous for the H1 haplotype (IGHGP, 8.8 kb, IGHG2, 13.5 kb, and IGHG4, 9.4 kb). IgA-D subjects homozygous for HLA DQB1*0201 (DQw2), a marker that has previously been reported to show a strong association with IgA deficiency, showed a similar reduction of serum levels of IgG4 and IgE as compared with DQB1*0201 negative IgA-D subjects. These findings suggest that the two loci found to be associated with IgA deficiency may act via a common pathway.
