Popis: International audience; OBJECTIVE: To test whether the presence of RA associated HLA-DRB1*0101, HLA-DRB1*0401 and HLA-DRB1*0404 alleles individually influences anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) production. METHODS: The frequency of anti-CCP antibodies was calculated in the sera of 260 RA patients expressing either two (double dose genotypes SE+/SE+), one (single dose genotypes SE+/SE-) or no RA associated HLA-DR alleles (SE-/SE-). Anti-CCP antibodies titers were also determined. RESULTS: RA associated HLA-DR alleles are not mandatory for production of anti-CCP. We found that 68% of SE-/SE- patients were anti-CCP positive. There was no significant difference in anti-CCP between SE negative patient (SE-/SE-) and patients expressing at least one SE (SE+/SE+ and SE+/SE-) (p=0.140). We observed no statistical difference in anti-CCP between RA patients expressing one or two SE (82% vs. 77%, p=0.577). Among SE+/SE-patients, HLA-DRB1*0404 was associated with anti-CCP with a statistically significant difference compared with SE negative patients (90% anti-CCP positive, p=0.02). HLA-DRB1*0404 was also associated with high titers of anti CCP with a statistically significant difference compared with HLA-DRB1*0401 and HLA-DRB1*0101 patients (p=0.025). CONCLUSIONS: The RA-associated HLA-DRB1*0404 allele was the most strongly associated with the presence of anti-CCP in RA sera. Moreover, HLA-DRB1*0404 patients had higher titers of anti CCP than patients with other RA associated HLA-DR alleles.
