PG - 1777-1783 LID - 10.1111/jgh.14695 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIM: Tobacco smoking is a risk factor for gastrointestinal disorders, causing mucosal damage and impairing immune responses. However, smoking has been found to be protective against ulcerative colitis (UC). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is a major susceptibility locus for UC, and HLA-DRB1*15:02 has the strongest effect in Asians. This study investigated the effects of smoking on the association between HLA and UC. METHODS: The study enrolled 882 patients with UC, including 526 never, 151 current, and 205 former smokers, and 3091 healthy controls, including 2124 never, 502 current, and 465 former smokers. Smoking-stratified analyses of HLA data were performed using a case-control approach. RESULTS: In a case-control approach, HLA-DRB1*15:02 was associated with UC in never smokers (OR(never smokers) = 3.20, P(never smokers) = 7.88 x 10(-23) ) but not in current or former smokers (P(current smokers) = 0.72 and P(former smokers) = 0.33, respectively). In current smokers, HLA-DQB1*06 was associated with UC (OR(current smokers) = 2.59, P(current smokers) = 6.39 x 10(-12) ). No variants reached genome-wide significance in former smokers. CONCLUSIONS: An association between UC and HLA-DRB1*15:02 was limited to never smokers. Our findings highlight that tobacco smoking modifies the effects of HLA on the risk of UC.
