Association of HLA-DR/DQ alleles and haplotypes with nephrotic syndrome

Background Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a debilitating renal problem in children resulting from an interaction between environmental and genetic factors including human leukocyte antigen genes (HLA). The aim of this work was to study the probable link between HLA alleles/haplotypes and NS in south Ind...

Zusammenfassung:Background Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a debilitating renal problem in children resulting from an interaction between environmental and genetic factors including human leukocyte antigen genes (HLA). The aim of this work was to study the probable link between HLA alleles/haplotypes and NS in south India. Methods HLA DRB1*/DQB1* alleles were genotyped in 183 NS (76 steroid sensitive‐SSNS; 107 steroid resistant‐SRNS) and paediatric healthy controls (PHCs; n = 91) using polymerase chain reaction‐sequence specific primers (PCR‐SSP). HLA‐A/‐B genotyping was performed for patients (n = 70) positive for DRB1*07‐DQB1*02 haplotype to identify four locus extended haplotype. Results The following alleles and haplotypes were strongly associated with NS (P
