Résumé
We investigated the Taq I digested DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II genes: HLA-DRB, -DQA, and the class III genes: C4 and 21-hydroxylase(CYP21) in 56 caucasoid patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 62 control subjects in order to define the molecular variation of these genes and their association with SLE. The results showed that the gene frequencies of both HLA-DR2 and -DR3 were significantly increased in the SLE population compared to normal subjects (DR2: 21.4% vs 10.7% chi 2 = 4.5. DR3: 29.6% vs 13.3%; chi 2 = 8.3). A high frequency of C4A and CYP21A gene deletions was also found in SLE patients (SLE 52%, normals 24%). All of 22 SLE patients, and 12 of 15 normal subjects who had C4A and CYP21A gene deletions had a 10.0kb Taq 1 DRB RFLP attributable to the presence of HLA-DR3. Family studies showed linkage of C4A/CYP21A deletions with HLA-B8 and -DR3, and confirmed the previously demonstrated association of the HLA-B8, DR3, C4A*Q0, C4*B1, Bf*S, C2*C haplotype with SLE. Deletions affecting the C4A and CYP21A genes were the commonest cause of C4A null alleles in SLE. No strong association between C4 null phenotype or C4 gene deletion, as determined by RFLP, was observed in patients who possessed DR2.
