The association of human leukocyte antigen class II (HLA II) haplotypes with the risk of Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA): Evidence based on available data.

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adult (LADA), classified as between type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, has received widespread attention. A number of studies have investigated the association between HLA DQA-DQB, DRB-DQB haplotypes and the onset of LADA. However, the conclusions remained inconsistent. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the impact of these HLA haplotypes on the pathogenesis of LADA. Systematic searches were carried out on the Medline, PubMed, Embase and Wan Fang respectively to investigate the association of LADA with HLA DQA-DQB, DRB-DQB up to June 05, 2020. We performed this retrospective research using meta-analysis. The pooled results demonstrated that in Chinese, DQA1*05-DQB1*0201, DQA1*03-DQB1*0401, and DQA1*03-DQB1*0303 were statistically significantly associated with increasing the risk of LADA (P < 0.001), while DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 was statistically significantly correlated with decreasing the susceptibility to the disease (P = 0.003). However, there was no obvious association found between DQA1*0201-DQB1*0201 (P = 0.984), DQA1*03-DQB1*0302 (P = 0.110), DQA1*0601-DQB1*0301 (P = 0.398) and LADA. In Japanese, DRB1*0802-DQB1*0302 (P = 0.003) and DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303 (P = 0.001), but not DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 (P = 0.136), were found to be a risk factor for LADA. As for Caucasian, both DRB1*03-DQB1*0201 and DRB1*04-DQB1*0302 were predisposed to the development of LADA with a statistical significance (P < 0.001). In all, HLA DQA-DQB, HLA DRB-DQB haplotypes might play a role in the risk of LADA, which could provide an improved understanding of LADA pathogenesis and the detection of susceptible HLA haplotypes in the diagnosis and therapy of this disease.

HLA-DRB, -DQA, and DQB alleles and haplotypes in Iranian patients with diabetes mellitus type I.

Specific alleles at the HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 loci seem to be associated with variable risks of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study assessed the distribution of HLA-DR and -DQ alleles among Iranian T1D patients and healthy controls. In this study, HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 alleles were determined in 100 children with T1D and 100 unrelated healthy controls. The following alleles were found to have a strong positive association with T1D: DRB1*0301, DRB1*0401, DRB1*0402, DQA1*0301, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0201, and DQB1*0302. Meanwhile, protective associations were found for DRB1*1001, DRB1*1101, DRB1*15, DRB1*16, DQA1*0102, DQA1*0103, DQB1*0301, DQB1*0501, and DQB1*0602 alleles. The haplotypes found most frequently among patients with T1D were DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201, DRB1*0401-DQA1*0301- DQB1*0302, and DRB1*0402-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302, whereas DRB1*1101-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0301 and DRB1*16-DQA1*0102- DQB1*0501 haplotypes were negatively associated with the disease. These results confirm the previously reported association of specific HLA-DR and HLA-DQ alleles and haplotypes with T1D in Iranian population. The notable difference was the identification of DRB1*16-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0501 as a protective haplotype and the absence of a negative association of DRB1*1301-DQA1*0103-DRB1*0603 with T1D.
