Objective: To investigate a possible association of DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles with the chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) development in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) manifested between 18 to 40 years of age. Patients and methods: In 118 patients with DM1 (age at DM1 diagnosis 28.0 (6.9) years, duration of DM1 14.0 (6.3) years) HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles were analysed by sequence specific oligonucleotide probes and sequence specific primers. AT was present in 53 (44.9%) of these patients (ultrasonography, positive titres of specific thyroid autoantibodies and/or elevation of TSH). Statistics: Chi-square test, t-test. Data given as mean (SD) or percent. Results: Females were significantly more often affected by AT (37F:16M in AT-positive group, vs. 26F:39M in AT-negative group, p<0.0015), the mean age at DM1 diagnosis as well as duration of DM1 was not different in both groups. We observed higher phenotype frequency of DQB1*0301 (18.9% vs. 7.7%, p<0,07) and DQB1*0201/*0201 (homozygote) (9% vs. 2%, p=0.05), and lower frequency of DRB1*03 antigen (35.9% vs. 52.3%, p<0.08) in AT-positive group, all of borderline significance. The frequencies of the most frequent haplotypes DRB1*04-DQA*0301-DQB1*0302 (54.7% vs. 49.2%, n.s.), DRB1*03-DQA1*0501-*DQB1*0201 (35.8% vs. 50.8%. n.s.), and DRB1*01-DQA1*0101-DQB1*0501 (15.1% vs. 24.6%, n.s.) were similar in AT-positive and AT-negative group.
Conclusions: No significant association of HLA-DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 haplotype with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis development was observed in patients with DM1 manifested between 18 and 40 years of age.
