KIR and HLA gene combinations in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
Human Immunology 2008 June
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a putative autoimmune ocular inflammatory disease and is known to be associated with HLA-DR4 and -DR1 in Mestizos. We examined the genes encoding KIR receptors and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands in patients with VKH disease and compared to published controls. We found trends toward more group B KIR haplogroups (p=0.059), with more activating KIR genes, in patients compared to controls. All putative activating KIR-HLA combinations were more common in patients, and some inhibitory KIR-HLA combinations were more common in controls, although the differences were not statistically significant. The trends observed in this study are consistent with those reported for other autoimmune diseases.
