LID - 10.3390/genes12121934 [doi] LID - 1934 AB - The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele group HLA-DQA1*05 predisposes to ulcerative colitis (UC) and is associated with the development of antibodies against infliximab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, we hypothesized that the presence of HLA-DQA1*05 correlates with characteristics of pediatric IBD. Within a multi-center cohort in Poland, the phenotype at diagnosis and worst flare was established and HLA-DQA1*05 status was assessed enabling genotype-phenotype analyses. HLA-DQA1*05 was present in 221 (55.1%) out of 401 children with IBD (UC n = 188, Crohn's disease n = 213). In UC, the presence of HLA-DQA1*05 was moderately associated with a large extent of colonic inflammation at diagnosis (E4 55% more frequent in HLA-DQA1*05-positive patients, p = 0.012). PUCAI at diagnosis (p = 0.078) and the time from UC diagnosis to the first administration of biologic treatment (p = 0.054) did not differ depending on HLA-DQA1*05 status. The number of days of hospitalization for exacerbation was analyzed in 98 patients for whom sufficient follow-up was available and did not differ depending on HLA-DQA1*05 carriership (p = 0.066). HLA-DQA1*05 carriers with CD were less likely to present with both stenosing and penetrating disease (B2B3, p = 0.048) and to have active disease proximal to the ligament of Treitz (L4a) at the worst flare (p = 0.046). Future research focusing on explaining and preventing anti-TNF immunogenicity should take into account that ADA may develop not only as an isolated reaction to anti-TNF exposure but also as a consequence of intrinsic differences in the early course of UC.
