Abstract

Sixty patients with celiac disease were typed by radioimmunoassay for the specificities HLA-DR3, HLA-DR7, and for an allelic specificity, DC3, of the HLA-associated DC locus. We found that celiac disease is primarily associated with the DC determinant. The previously described associations with DR3, DR7, B8, B13, and A1 can be explained by decreasing degrees of linkage disequilibrium with DC3.

      In the 1970s, the association between MHC and CD development was first described [21,22]. One decade later, the alleles-encoding HLA-DQ2 were identified as the main responsible of the genetic risk conferred by the MHC region [23,24], which had been previously attributed to the serological alleles HLA-B8 and HLA-DR3 [21,25]. HLA-DQ molecules are conformed by two subunits: α and β, which are encoded by two different genes of the class II MHC region: HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1, respectively.
