66 Past studies of TAP2 association with SLE have focused on three specific amino acids (V379I (rs1800454), A565 T (rs2228396) and T665A (rs241447)), had modest sample sizes (B100-200 cases) in ethnically diverse populations and were collectively inconclusive.7-11 Of these three SNPs, only rs241447 was included in our analyses, and it yielded a modest association.

54 Using a whole genome scan of a large family cluster with both vitiligo and Hashimoto thyroiditis, a general autoimmune susceptibility locus (AIS1) was mapped to human chromosome 1, and evidence was reported for a Hashimoto disease susceptibility locus within a chromosome 6 region spanning both the MHC and AIDT1, a non-MHC locus associated with susceptibility to both Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves` disease.24 A linkage disequilibrium analysis of 56 multigeneration Columbian families with vitiligo using microsatellite markers spanning the entire human MHC region revealed a major genetic factor within the MHC at 6p21.3-21.4, with a dominant mode of inheritance in vitiligo patients with an early age of onset and a recessive mode of inheritance influenced by environmental effects in vitiligo patients with an age of onset after 30 years of age.10 Comparisons of a variety of inheritance models suggested that the most parsimonious genetic model was that of a major Table 4 Genotype frequencies of LMP/TAP and MECL1 candidate genes in Caucasian vitiligo patients and (age of onset 0-29 years) control subjects Vitiligo patients Controls Gene Polymorphism Genotype Count Percentage Count Percentage P-value LMP2 G/A exon 3 (R60H) GG 6 6.3 12 6.6 0.095 GA 50 52.6 71 39.2 AA 39 41.1 98 54.1 TAP1 C/T intron 7 CC 21 23.3 27 17.3 0.47 CT 38 42.2 67 43.0 TT 31 34.5 62 39.7 TAP1 G/A exon 10 (D637G) AA 1 1.0 8 4.6 0.0094 AG 27 27.6 73 42.0 GG 70 71.4 93 53.4 LMP7 A/C exon 2 (Q49K) AA 73 77.7 131 78.0 0.98 CA 19 20.2 34 20.2 CC 2 2.1 3 1.8 LMP7 G/T intron 6 GG 26 28.6 28 16.9 0.077 GT 43 47.3 86 51.8 TT 22 24.2 52 31.3 TAP2 A/G exon 5 (V379I) AA 9 9.8 14 8.0 0.84 AG 22 23.9 46 26.1 GG 61 66.3 116 65.9 TAP2 A/G exon 11 (T665A) AA 51 52.6 90 48.9 0.83 AG 37 38.1 77 41.9 GG 9 9.3 17 9.2 MECL1 T/C exon4(L107L) TT 60 65.9 107 66.9 0.98 TC 26 28.6 45 28.1 CC 5 5.5 8 5.0 dominant gene plus environmental effects, although multifactorial models could not be rejected.10 Many other HLA associations have been reported between specific alleles of complement, class I and class II MHC genes with vitiligo in various ethnic and racial subpopulations (reviewed in Friedmann9 ), but no common HLA association is observed.

66 TAP1 amino-acid polymorphisms, including D637G (in this report) and I333V, have been reported to influence the permissiveness of transport of specific peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum in some models,40 and the TAP2 polymorphism T665A (in this report) has been suggested to influence the antibody response to measles virus vaccine.41 Two functional studies of human TAP polymorphisms, however, revealed no significant influence of human TAP1 or TAP2 alleles on peptide binding and translocation.42,43 Fewer functional studies have been performed on LMP polymorphisms; however, it has been reported that the LMP2 R60H and LMP7 Q49K polymorphisms (in this report) affect age-dependent TNF-a apoptosis and response to interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis C, respectively.44,45 Immunoproteasomes might also play an integral role in maintaining peripheral tolerance.

29 The same is true for TAP2 when Val-379/1le-379 and Thr-665/Ala-665 are present: two interpretations are possible if Ala-565 is found (we were not able to find Thr-565 in any subject)-TAP2B/TAP2C or TAP2AfTAP2H; as TAP2H is an extremely unusual allele, the former possibility is much more likely.

48 Previously, we reported sequences of TAP2 which differed by two amino acid substitutions: Glu for Stop at position 687 and Ala for Thr at position 665, and a silent nucleotide substitution, T for G at position 2091 (Powis et al. 1992b). Login to comment
