HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 Celiac disease HLA-DQB*06:02 Narcolepsy HLA-B*57:01 Abacavir hypersensitivity HLA-B*15:02 Carbamazepine hypersensitivity Is my blood type (ABO) related to my HLA genes and antigens? No. Although both systems are inherited and are important for tissue compatibility, they...
Regarding the clinical and diagnostic relevance, the testing of DQ2/DQ8 has an excellent negative predictive value of 99%: a negative test virtually excludes CD [111], while a positive test merely indicates genetic susceptibility. An advantage of HLA testing is that a gluten-free diet is not ...
First, we estimated the CD and HLA-DQ2/DQ8 prevalence in the available blood samples collected at the North Zealand Hospital. Out of a total of 9754 patients, with symptoms suggestive of CD (such as malabsorption, diarrhea, steatorrhea, ion-deficiency anemia, and weight loss or growth failure...
“normal” population has one or the other marker. This means that the demonstration of being DQ2 and/or DQ8 positive has a strong negative predictive value, but a very weak positive predictive value for the diagnosis of celiac disease. With these limitations, it may prove useful to exclude ...
Weak affinity of the Ii for DQ has also been associated with juvenile dermatomyositis (12). Structural information has been obtained for some HLA-DQ molecules involved in autoimmune disease; for example, crystal structures of the DQ8-insulin peptide complex (13) and the DQ2-gluten peptide ...
I’m personally interested in the newer HLA-DQ7, as wasn’t tested for that on the NHS; they test for the standard High Risk alleles - HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1 (DQ2.5 and DQ8, and the DQ2.2 which is technically half and lower risk than having two copies. I’m not a geneticist but tha...
More than 95% of patients with CD carry HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8, and hence the absence of these molecules reduces significantly the likelihood of CD (15). In this study, we aimed at assessing the HLA-DR/DQ geno- typic and allelic distribution in a large cohort of children with CD in...
Cytokine production by DQ2- -II-specific T cells in peripheral blood To test gluten-reactive T cells that had not been subjected to possible confounding effects of in vitro culture, we inves- tigated the cytokine production by gluten-reactive T cells that egress into the peripheral blood of ...
Although most patients with celiac disease have at least 1 copy of DR3-DQ2 or DR4-DQ8, these haplotypes are also common in the general population. DR3-DQ2 carries a higher risk than DR4-DQ8. Edwin Liu, MD, from the Digestive Health Institute, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the Barb...
Other disease settings could for example be T1D with its restriction to both HLA-DR and -DQ loci [55] and the numerous autoantigens involved, like GAD and 60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) [56, 57] as well as coeliac disease with the HLA-DQ2 and -DQ8-restricted gluten-derived ...
