Abstract

Abstract Objectives We aimed to determine Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DRB1, DQB1, and MHC Class I related chain A (MICA) genotypes in patients with ulcerative colitis. Methods HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, MICA genotyping of patient (n:85) and controls (n:100) were performed by PCR-SSO Luminex (One Lambda genotyping kit). Results We found significantly higher DRB1*01 (p:0.022, OR:0.23, CI:0.06–0.8) and MICA*0002/20/55 (p:0.03, OR:0.53, CI:0.29–0.93) alleles in control group whereas DRB1*14 (p:0.04, OR:2.25, CI:1–5.08), DRB1*15 (p:<0.0001, OR:4.54, CI:2.09–9.88) and MICA*0004 (p:0.01, OR:2.84, CI:1.2–6.7) alleles were higher in patient group. Conclusions The present study will inform the MICA and HLA genotypes about the protective (DRB1*01, MICA*0002/20/55) or susceptible (DRB1*14, DRB1*15, MICA*0004) alleles of the disease and helps the literature on Turkish patients with ulcerative colitis.
