Disease relevance of SFRS6

  • Close association of HLA-B51 and B52 in Israeli patients with Behçet's syndrome [1].
  • B52 and B44 antigens were associated with HIV resistance while B51 was associated with HIV susceptibility [2].
  • The observation suggest that HLA linked genes are definitely involved in the development of Takayasu arteritis and that the disease in Indian subjects is associated with HLA-B5 and its two serological subtypes, B51 as well as B52 [3].
  • The frequencies of HLA B35, B52, B62, DRB1*0404, and DRB1*0406 were higher in the ErbB-2-positive lung cancer patients than in the ErbB-2-negative lung cancer patients [4].
 

High impact information on SFRS6

 

Biological context of SFRS6

  • Significantly higher phenotype frequencies of B52, MICA TM-STR 6, and DR2 were observed in patients with UC [9].
  • Linkage disequilibria among alleles associated with UC revealed that a B52 - MICA TM-STR 6 - DR2 haplotype was conserved in patients with UC, as in controls [9].
  • Frequency of HLA-DRB1*1502 was also increased but it was suggested to be a reflection of its linkage disequilibrium with B52 [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SFRS6

  • Using Western blot (immunoblot) analysis and whole-mount immunofluorescence, we demonstrate that B52 is widely expressed throughout development, although some developmental stages and tissues appear to have higher B52 levels than others do [5].
  • HLA-B51 and B52 were present in 24/38 (63%) and 8/38 (21%), respectively, of the patients compared with 13/151 (9%) of the control group for both cases, a relative risk of 18.2 and 2.8 respectively [1].
  • HLA class I (B54 and B52) and HLA class II (DQ alleles) genes were also typed by polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR SSOP) method to confirm alleles [11].
  • Platelet transfusion from the third donor was effective because these platelets expressed HLA A24 and B52 but not B60 or B61 [12].
