    Notes: A single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method has been adopted for discrimination of human HLA-DRB1 alleles. This method enabled the detection of DN A polymorphisms including point mutations at a variety of positions in the DN A fragments of the HLA-DRB1 gene. A total of 27 HLA-DRB1 alleles from 172 healthy donors were analysed using a combination of PCR-SSCP with group-specific amplifications. Application of a small amount of amplified and denatured DNA to non-denaturing electrophoresis followed by silver staining resulted in distinct banding patterns. Samples possessing a single allele in each amplification group showed two-band patterns which correspond to the sense and antisense strands, while heterozygotes in the same group or a mixture of two single-type samples showed four-band patterns. All of the analysed alleles were discriminated in each DRB1 group. The method described here may be somewhat complicated for routine typing of HLA-DRB1 alleles. However, it is useful in the screening of ‘new’ alleles as well as the donor-recipient molecular matching of HLA class II genes for various purposes, e.g. selection of bone marrow transplant donors.

    Notes: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is associated with several DR3- or DR4-containing ancestral haplotypes (AHs). Using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), long range maps of 35 haplotypes have been derived and classified. Two diabetogenic DR3-containing AHs (8.1 and 18.2) possess deletions in the central non-HLA region; these have not been found on non-diabetogenic AHs tested to date. In addition, 8.1 and 18.2 also carry other deletions not found on other AHs. Three DR4 containing AH lack a Not 1 site, which may imply excision of an unidentified gene. These and other data suggest that deletions may be relevant to the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease, possibly through causing quantitative differences in autoimmune responses involved in IDDM. The MHC contains several regions of potential interest in relation to susceptibility to IDDM; these may explain the association with only certain DR3- and DR4-carrying AH and DR3,4 heterozygosity in terms of cis and trans interactions. On the other hand, the class I1 region may be particularly important in protection.

    Notes: Summary Genetic polymorphisms of HLA antigens and HLA-linked serum complement components (C2, C4A, C4B and BF) were investigated in 79 Japanese patients suffering from psoriasis. HLA typing revealed increased frequencies of HLA-A1, A2, B39, Bw46, Cw6, Cw7 and Cw11. Among complement components, positive associations were obtained with C4A4 and C4B2 and a negative association with BFF. The major histocompatibility complex haplotype (supratype), HLA-A2-Cw11-Bw46-C2C-BFS-C4A4-C4B2-DRw8 is purported to be a new high-risk haplotype in Japanese patients with psoriasis. Analysis of patients with this supratype via pulsed field gel electrophoresis showed the existence of specific, extensive DNA deletions near HLA-DR genes, but no disease-specific patterns could be observed by means of this technique. The newly-found high-risk haplotype indicates racial and ethnic differences among psoriatic patients.
