    Abstract:
    HLA studies in patients with autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) have shown very consistent results for the association with HLA class II alleles at low resolution. This study aimed to examine the association of both HLA class I and class II at high resolution to clarify the contribution of risk alleles to the disease. A total of 107 AIN patients were genotyped for six loci of HLA class I (HLA-A, -B and -C) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1) genes by a high-resolution (3-field, 6-digit) analysis and compared with HLA typing of 1000 healthy controls. Compared with the controls, the allele frequencies were significantly higher in AIN patients for A*02:17:01G, C*01:02:01G, DRB1*10:01:01G, DRB1*14:01:01G, DRB1*16:01:01G, DQB1*05:02:01G, and DQB1*05:03:01G but lower significant for C*03:04:01G, DRB1*04:01:01G, DRB1*13:02:01G, DQB1*03:02:01G, and DQB1*06:04:01G. Frequently associated two-locus haplotypes were found to be DRB1*10:01:01G-DQB1*05:01:01G and DRB1*16:01:01G-DQB1*05:02:01G, while the S2 (Q- or D-KRAA) shared epitope (SE) was associated with lower risk. A unique association with HLA alleles was observed between patients with specific anti-HNA-1a antibodies and broad-reacting anti-FcγRIIIb. Anti-HNA-1a antibody-positive patients were associated with C*01:02:01G, DRB1*01:01:01G, DRB1*16:01:01G, DQB1*05:01:01G, DQB1*05:02:01G, DQB1*06:04:01G, and DPB1*10:01:01G; the two-locus haplotypes DRB1*01:01:01G-DQB1*05:01:01G and DRB1*16:01:01G-DQB1*05:02:01G; and the S3P (Q- or R-RRAA) SE. Anti-FcγRIIIb antibody-positive patients were associated with the alleles A*02:17:01G, DRB1*10:01:01G, and DQB1*05:02:01G; the haplotypes DRB1*10:01:01G-DQB1*05:01:01G and DRB1*11:01:02G-DQB1*05:02:01G; and the S3D (DRRAA) SE. The different associations regarding FcγRIIIb antibody specificities could indicate disease heterogeneity.
