Molecular and genetic testing of HLA II class genes in celiac disease patients in Yakutia
Abstract
The article presents the results of molecular genetic study based on typing of class II HLA genes (DRB1, DQA1, DQB1) in patients in age from 8 months to 18 years with a referral diagnosis of celiac disease or with suspected celiac disease. The study of the gene HLA class II with three-locus haplotypes DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 revealed carriers of the haplotypes associated with celiac disease. The researchers found a high frequency of carriers of the haplotypes DRB1*04 - DQA1*03:01 - DQB1*03:02 (DQ8 type) in the Yakuts compared to the Russians.
