Polymorphism: HLA-DQA1 haplotypes



Location: 6p21.3

Factor:
- Symbol: HLA-DQA1
- Name: major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1
- Entrez ID: 3117
- Ensembl ID: ENSG00000196735

Factors:
  • HLA-DQA1 major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1 ( 3117 / ENSG00000196735 )


  • Description:

    The increased frequency DQA10101=0104 can be explained by a LD with DRBl1401 or vice versa, which was also significantly frequent in them, because DRB11401-DQB10503-DQA10104 is one of the prominent haplotypes in Okinawan Japanese. Alleles that were significant before but not after corrected P value test: Decreased in centenarians (HLA-DQA10102, HLA-DQA1*0103). Note: related to rs6457617?

    odds_ratio = RR = 1.739 (could not convert string to float: RR = 1.739)

    Ethnicity: Okinawan
    Age of cases: Mean age 102.3 +/- 1.9 years
    Shorter lived allele: non-HLA-DQA1*0101=0104 alleles
    Longer lived allele: HLA-DQA1*0101=0104

    Statistics
    - Number of cases/controls: 120 vs 129 (initial)
    - p-value: 0.04 [0.04]
    - Significant: Yes

    Study Design
