Relación entre osteoartritis y HLA - A en pacientes iraquíes. (HLA: acrónimo inglés de antcígenos leucocitarios humanos - Human Leucocyte Antigens). La osteoartritis e la afección más común que involucra el aparato osteo-articular. Representa a un grupo heterogéneo de condiciones resultante de cambios comunes histopatológicos y radiológicos.

Existen múltiples factores de riesgo para la osteoartritis:

edad, obesidad, y el antígeno genético. El leococitario humano (HLA) como parte del sistema inmune, teniendo un rol en el proceso nosológico. Diversos estudios han determinado la diferente asociación entre la clase HLA - I y la II. El objetivo de esta investigación fue el de determinar la eventualidad de una relación entre el HLA-I y el II en la osteocondritis. Los resultados obtenidos se discuten en el artículo.

Background:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of joint disease. It represents a heterogeneous group of conditions resulting in common histopathologic and radiologic changes.

There are multiples risk factors for osteoarthritis includes the following:

Age, Obesity and Genetics. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) as part of immune system has a role in the disease process. Many reported studies have pointted to different HLA classs I and II association.

Aim:

To investigate whether there is an association between HLA class II and OA.

Patients and methods:

A cross sectional comparatives study including patient with primary osteoarthritis attending the department of orthopedic in Al-Kindy teaching hospital Baghdad, Iraq between September 2016-September 2017. Patient's selection was done by the orthopaedics. The HLA-A tuping was performed in HLA research unit at Al-Kindy College of Medicine using PCR-SSO according to the manufacturer instruction using both Amplification and Hybridization kit by Automated method using Autolipa - 48Innogenities-Belgium. The results ewre interepted using LIRAS version 5.0 software innogenetics - Belgium, odds ratio were used to test signifcant differences.

Results:

Thirty five Iraqi Arab Muslims patients with primary osteoarthritis. The control group was comprised from 75 healtht unrelated sex and age matched volunteers among the staff of Al-Kindey college of medicine that didn't have a history of osteoarthritis. There was an increased frequencies of HLA-A*0101,0202,6802 in patients with osteoarthritis compared with healthy controls (P value=0.001,<0.001,<0.001 respectively)
