ABSTRACT Whereas the genetic risk for type 1 diabetes is linked to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes, the HLA association in type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes is less clear. The association between HLA class II genotypes and type 2 diabetes was examined in adult Bahrainis, an Arab population with a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes. HLA-DRB1* and -DQB1* genotyping of 86 unrelated type 2 diabetes patients (age, 51.6 ± 8.2 years; mean duration of diabetes, 7.7 ± 7.1 years) who had a strong family history of diabetes (52 of 72 versus 0 of 89 for controls, P < 0.001) and 89 healthy subjects was done by PCR-sequence-specific priming. DRB1*040101 (0.1221 versus 0.0562, P = 0.019) and DRB1*070101 (0.2151 versus 0.0843, P < 0.001) were positively associated, while DRB1*110101 (0.0698 versus 0.1461, P = 0.014) and DRB1*160101 (0.0640 versus 0.1236, P = 0.038) were negatively associated with type 2 diabetes. DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 (0.069 versus 0.0007; P = 0.004), DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201 (0.178 versus 0.0761, P = 0.007), DRB1*070101-DQB1*050101 (0.125 versus 0.0310, P = 0.002), and DRB1*150101-DQB1*060101 (0.0756 versus 0.0281, P = 0.008) were more prevalent among patients, while DRB1*160101-DQB1*050101 (0.0702 versus 0.0349, P = 0.05) was more prevalent among controls, conferring disease susceptibility or protection, respectively. In Bahrainis with type 2 diabetes, there is a significant association with select HLA class II genotypes, which were distinct from those in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes contribute to the genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D), and susceptible alleles and haplotypes were implicated in the pathogenesis of T1D. This study investigated the heterogeneity in HLA class II haplotype distribution among Tunisian patients with T1D. This was a retrospective case control study done in Monastir in central Tunisia. The subjects comprised 88 T1D patients and 112 healthy controls. HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genotyping was done by PCR-sequence-specific priming. Significant DRB1 and DQB1 allelic differences were seen between T1D patients and controls; these differences comprised DRB1*030101 and DQB1*0302, which were higher in T1D patients than in control subjects, and DRB1*070101, DRB1*110101, DQB1*030101, and DQB1*060101, which were lower in T1D patients than in control subjects. In addition, the frequencies of DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 and DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 were higher in T1D patients than in control subjects, and the frequencies of DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201 and DRB1*110101-DQB1*030101 haplotypes were lower in T1D patients than in control subjects. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed the positive association of DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 and DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 and the negative association of only DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201 haplotypes with T1D. Furthermore, a significantly increased prevalence of DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 homozygotes was seen for T1D subjects than for control subjects. Our results confirm the association of specific HLA-DR and -DQ alleles and haplotypes with T1D in Tunisians. The identification of similar and unique haplotypes in Tunisians compared to other Caucasians highlights the need for evaluating the contribution of HLA class II to the genetic susceptibility to T1D with regard to haplotype usage and also to ethnic origin and racial background.
