What's new?Altered expression of the HLA-DRB1 antigen, a key player in the immune response, is linked to colorectal cancer with a backgroundof ulcerative colitis. But it is unknown whether HLA-DRB1 alleles affect risk of colorectal tumor development, and theirimpact in the absence of inflammatory bowel disease remains relatively unexplored. In this study, 29 distinct HLA-DRB1alleles were identified in colorectal cancer patients and normal controls. One allele, DRB1*13:01, was found to be significantlyassociated with increased risk of colorectal tumor, suggesting that it may be a marker for colorectal cancer outside the settingof inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
What's new?Altered expression of the HLA-DRB1 antigen, a key player in the immune response, is linked to colorectal cancer with a backgroundof ulcerative colitis. But it is unknown whether HLA-DRB1 alleles affect risk of colorectal tumor development, and theirimpact in the absence of inflammatory bowel disease remains relatively unexplored. In this study, 29 distinct HLA-DRB1alleles were identified in colorectal cancer patients and normal controls. One allele, DRB1*13:01, was found to be significantlyassociated with increased risk of colorectal tumor, suggesting that it may be a marker for colorectal cancer outside the settingof inflammatory bowel disease.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
