PG - 6916-26 LID - 10.1093/hmg/ddu387 [doi] AB - Previous studies have emphasized ethnically heterogeneous human leukocyte antigen (HLA) classical allele associations to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk. We fine-mapped RA risk alleles within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in 2782 seropositive RA cases and 4315 controls of Asian descent. We applied imputation to determine genotypes for eight class I and II HLA genes to Asian populations for the first time using a newly constructed pan-Asian reference panel. First, we empirically measured high imputation accuracy in Asian samples. Then we observed the most significant association in HLA-DRbeta1 at amino acid position 13, located outside the classical shared epitope (Pomnibus = 6.9 x 10(-135)). The individual residues at position 13 have relative effects that are consistent with published effects in European populations (His > Phe > Arg > Tyr congruent with Gly > Ser)--but the observed effects in Asians are generally smaller. Applying stepwise conditional analysis, we identified additional independent associations at positions 57 (conditional Pomnibus = 2.2 x 10(-33)) and 74 (conditional Pomnibus = 1.1 x 10(-8)). Outside of HLA-DRbeta1, we observed independent effects for amino acid polymorphisms within HLA-B (Asp9, conditional P = 3.8 x 10(-6)) and HLA-DPbeta1 (Phe9, conditional P = 3.0 x 10(-5)) concordant with European populations. Our trans-ethnic HLA fine-mapping study reveals that (i) a common set of amino acid residues confer shared effects in European and Asian populations and (ii) these same effects can explain ethnically heterogeneous classical allelic associations (e.g. HLA-DRB1*09:01) due to allele frequency differences between populations. Our study illustrates the value of high-resolution imputation for fine-mapping causal variants in the MHC. CI - (c) The Author 2014. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
