| Popis: | Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is chronic inflammatory disease of synovial tissue that leads to destructive joint damage and disability. An genetic association between particular HLA-DRB1 genes and severity of disease course has been documented in various clinical investigations.1–3 Objectives To investigate HLA-DRB1 distribution in patients with non-erosive and erosive joint disease. Methods Sixty six patients with nonspecific joint pain and/or arthritis, non-erosive RA and erosive RA were selected. Evaluated parameters were: sex, age, disease duration, tender and swollen joints index (44 joints), functional index (HAQ), ESR, rheumatoid factor, x-ray of hands and feet classified according Larsen score and HLA-DRB1 typing. The presence of one or more susceptible alleles DRB1*0101; *0401; *0404; *0405; *0101 and *1401 was considered as poor prognostic sign. Results Non-erosive joint disease (Larsen 0-I) was diagnosed in 37 patients (mean disease duration and range: 30/2–132/months) and 29 patients (55/2–216/months) had erosive changes (Larsen II-V). Susceptible alleles were identified in 26 non-erosive and 21 erosive patients. In the whole group the most frequent genes were DRB1*0101 (30 pts.), *0401 (11 pts.) and *0404 (7 pts.). Seven out of 47 DRB1 positive patients had 2 or more susceptible alleles. There were no statistically significant differences between non-erosive and erosive group in any variable. Conclusion DRB1*0101 is the most frequent susceptible allel in Croatian arthritis population. In this study the prevalence of susceptible genes was almost same in non-erosive and erosive joint disease. Our data do not support evidence for more destructive disease course in DRB1 positive patients. References Emery P, et al.
