The association of HLA-DQ7 with bullous pemphigoid is restricted to men.
This study examines in detail the HLA associations of 74 patients (40 women and 34 men) with bullous pemphigoid (BP) and compares their immunogenetic profile with that of 604 unrelated control subjects (238 women and 366 men). Correlations were sought between HLA antigens and the various BP disease...

| description | This study examines in detail the HLA associations of 74 patients (40 women and 34 men) with bullous pemphigoid (BP) and compares their immunogenetic profile with that of 604 unrelated control subjects (238 women and 366 men). Correlations were sought between HLA antigens and the various BP disease parameters investigated. The presence of milia was the only clinical or laboratory finding which was linked with a specific HLA antigen, HLA-DQ6, in both men and women with BP (P < 0.01). BP has previously been linked with the HLA-DQ7 antigen and this association was confirmed in 39 of our patients (14 women and 25 men). Twelve of these patients (four women and eight men) were homozygous for HLA-DQ7. The association of HLA-DQ7 with BP was gender-restricted and only significant for men (P < 0.01). No equivalent HLA disease susceptibility risk factor could be identified for our female BP patients. This difference in HLA association between men and women with BP has not been reported previously, and its significance for disease pathogenesis is not known. No specific link could be found between HLA-DQ7 and BP for any of the clinical, immunofluorescence, western blotting, treatment or prognostic disease factors studied. |
