The effect of HLA genotype on disease onset and severity in CTLA-4 insufficiency by Sara Posadas-Cantera, Sara Posadas-Cantera, Noriko Mitsuiki, Florian Emmerich, Virginia Patiño, Hanns-Martin Lorenz, Olaf Neth, Ingunn Dybedal, Kjetil Taskén, Alejandro A. Schäffer, Bodo Grimbacher, Bodo Grimbacher, Bodo Grimbacher, Bodo Grimbacher, Laura Gámez-Díaz, Laura Gámez-Díaz

“…We found potential risk associations of HLA-DQB1*05:01 and HLA-DRB1*01:02 with respiratory tract involvement and HLA-C*05:01 with affection of the neurological system in the CTLA-4-insufficient patients. Additionally, we found a potential protective association of HLA-DRB1*01:01 with gastrointestinal symptoms.DiscussionEven though, our findings suggest that HLA-A, -B, -C, DRB1, and DQB1 do not contribute to the onset or severity of disease in CTLA-4 insufficiency, certain HLA-alleles may influence the manifestation of specific symptoms. …”
