Abstract
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease. This study explored the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and ESRD. The interaction between genetic and environmental factors may also play a role in the development of ESRD. The study included 2392 ESRD patients who were awaiting renal transplantation. Blood samples were genotyped by SSOP and SSP-PCR methods. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HLA-A*11 (p = 0.027), HLA-A*34 (p = 0.017), HLA-A*69 (p = 0.012), HLA-B*41 (p < 0.001), HLA-B*50 (p = 0.004), HLA-DRB1*10 (p = 0.027), and HLA-DRB1*14 (p = 0.004) were positively associated with ESRD (OR > 1); HLA-DRB1*07 (p < 0.001), HLA-DRB1*08 (p = 0.005), and HLA-DRB1*13 (p < 0.001) were protective against ESRD (OR < 1); and the three-locus haplotype HLA-A*02-B*41-DRB1*03, containing one susceptible allele, was strongly associated with ESRD (p < 0.001, OR = 3.15). In conclusion, this retrospective analysis of HLA typing in patients with ESRD of various etiologies suggests that molecular data on the HLA polymorphism should be collected in order to identify high-risk ESRD patients and to improve graft survival after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Objectives We recently studied the association between various human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). According to our analysis, HLA-B*50 and HLA-DQA1*3 alleles were positively associated with ESRD, while B*40, DRB1*12, DRB1*13, and DQA1*6 alleles were negatively associated with ESRD. However, a single case-control study does not have enough statistical power to evaluate the possible impact of genetic polymorphism on any disease. Hence, the main objective of this meta-analysis is to determine the association between these abovementioned HLA alleles and ESRD. Design MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched through December 2020 for case-control studies on the associations between HLA polymorphisms and ESRD. Independent reviewers screened the texts of potentially eligible studies and assessed the risk of bias. The meta-analysis was conducted based on the checklists and guidelines based on PRISMA. Results We identified 26 case-control studies comprising 1,312 ESRD and 3,842 healthy subjects. A non-significant positive association was observed between HLA-B*50 (OR = 1.02, 95% CI [0.90, 1.24]), HLA-B*40 (OR = 1.75, 95% CI [0.98, 3.2]), HLA-DQA1*3, (OR = 1.17, 95% CI [0.74, 1.84]), DRB1*12 (OR = 1.05, 95% CI [0.94, 1.18]) alleles and ESRD. In addition, a non-significant negative association was observed between HLA-DRB1*13 (OR = 0.90, CI [0.81, 1.01]), HLA-DQB1*6 (OR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.58, 1.07]) alleles and ESRD. Conclusions Our meta-analysis indicates no significant association between HLA-B*50, HLA-DQA1*3, B*40, DRB1*12, DRB1*13, and DQA1*6 alleles and ESRD. Further studies with larger sample sizes and adjustments for confounders are required to confirm these conclusions.

Abstract
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant public health issue with an estimated increasing burden over the next 10 years. Early prediction of patients with a high risk of ESRD progression is crucial to monitor and initiate appropriate interventions, of which HLA alleles have been proposed as promising biomarkers. This cross-sectional study described HLA profiles of a Vietnamese cohort and investigated the association between HLA alleles and ESRD. All ESRD patients who were waitlisted to receive kidney transplant and potential donors in a tertiary hospital from March 2018 to April 2020 were invited to participate in the study. A total of 458 participants were eligible, including 126 ESRD patients and 126 family-related donors, 98 ESRD patients and 108 unrelated donors. HLA typing was performed using Luminex-based PCR-SSO technology. We found HLA-A*02, A*11, A*24, B*15, B*07, DRB1*12, DRB1*09, DQA1*01, DQA1*06, DQB1*03 and DQB1*05 as the most common alleles, which is similar to the general Vietnamese population and other countries in East and South-east Asia. HLA-B*07 (P = .040), DQA1*06 (P = .031), and DQB1*03 (P = .036) were susceptible to ESRD, while HLA-B*27 (P = .024) and DQB1*02 (P = .006) were associated with a decreased risk of ESRD.

Abstract
Introduction Kidney dysfunction is a highly significant disease, both in the United Kingdom and globally. Many previous studies have reported associations between human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and renal function; this systematic review attempts to identify, summarize and appraise all published studies of these associations. Methods A literature search was performed using Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify papers whose keywords included each of the following concepts: HLA, renal failure and genetic association. A total of 245 papers were identified and assessed for eligibility; 35 of these were included in the final study. Results A total of 95 HLA types and 14 three‐locus haplotypes were reported to be associated with either increased or decreased renal function. A number of these findings were replicated by independent studies that reported 16 types were protective against renal dysfunction and 15 types were associated with reduced renal function. A total of 20 HLA types were associated with both increased risk of renal disease and decreased risk by independent studies. Discussion There is very little consensus on which HLA types have a protective or deleterious effect on renal function. Ethnicity may play a role, with HLA types possibly having different effects among different populations, and it is possible that the different primary diseases that lead to ESRD may have different HLA associations. Some of the studies may contain type I and type II errors caused by insufficient sample sizes, cohort selection and statistical methods. Although we have compiled a comprehensive list of published associations between renal function and HLA, in many cases, it is unclear which associations are reliable. Further studies are required to confirm or refute these findings.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) have been associated with renal function, but previous studies report contradictory findings with little consensus on the exact nature or impact of this observation. This study included 401,307 white British subjects aged 39–73 when they were recruited by UK Biobank. Subjects’ HLA types were imputed using HLA*IMP:02 software. Regression analysis was used to compare 362 imputed HLA types with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a primary outcome and clinical indications as secondary outcome measures. 22 imputed HLA types were associated with increased eGFR (and therefore increased renal function). Decreased eGFR (decreased renal function) was associated with 11 imputed HLA types, seven of which were also associated with increased risk of end-stage renal disease and/or chronic kidney disease. Many of these HLA types are commonly inherited together in established haplotypes, for example: HLA-A*01:01, B*08:01, C*07:01, DRB1*03:01, DQB1*02:01. This haplotype has a population frequency of 9.5% in England and each allele was associated with decreased renal function. 33 imputed HLA types were associated with kidney function in white British subjects. Linkage disequilibrium in HLA heritance suggests that this is not random and particularly affects carriers of established haplotypes. This could have important applications for the diagnosis and treatment of renal disease and global population health.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) have been associated with renal function, but previous studies report contradictory findings. There has been a lack of research into how HLA affects renal function in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people in the UK, despite BAME people being disproportionately affected by renal dysfunction. This study included >27 000 UK Biobank subjects of six ethnicities (>12 100 Irish, >5400 Indian, >4000 Black Caribbean, >3000 Black African, >1600 Pakistani, and >1400 Chinese) aged 39 to 73. Subjects' high-resolution HLA genotypes were imputed using HLA*IMP:02 software. Regression analysis was used to compare 108 imputed HLA alleles with two measures of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): one based on serum creatinine; one based on serum cystatin. Secondary analysis compared CKD stage 2 subjects to healthy controls. Nine imputed HLA alleles were associated with eGFR (adjusted P < .05). Six associations were based on creatinine in Black African subjects: HLA-B*53:01 (beta = -2.628, adjusted P = 4.69 × 10-4 ); C*04:01 (beta = -1.667, adjusted P = .0269); DPA1*02:01 (beta = -1.569, adjusted P = .0182); and DPA1*02:02 (beta = -1.716, adjusted P = .0251) were linked to decreased renal function, while DRB1*03:01 (beta = 3.200, adjusted P = 3.99 × 10-3 ) and DPA1*01:03 (beta = 2.276, adjusted P = 2.31 × 10-5 ) were linked to increased renal function. Two of these (HLA-B*53:01 and C*04:01) are commonly inherited together. In Irish subjects, HLA-DRB1*04:01 (beta = 1.075, adjusted P = .0138) was linked to increased eGFR (based on cystatin); in Indian subjects, HLA-DRB1*03:01 (beta = -1.72, adjusted P = 4.78 × 10-3 ) and DQB1*02:01 (beta = -1.755, adjusted P = 2.26 × 10-3 )were associated with decreased eGFR (based on cystatin). No associations were found in the other three ethnic groups. Nine HLA alleles appear to be associated with kidney function in BAME people in the UK. This could have applications for the diagnosis and treatment of renal disease and could help reduce health inequalities in the UK.

Abstract
Multiple works have studied possible associations between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and end stage renal disease (ESRD) showing, however, contradictory and inconsistent results. Here, we revisit the association between ESRD and HLA antigens, comparing HLA polymorphism (at HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1 and DQA1 loci) in ESRD patients (n = 497) and controls (n = 672). Our data identified several HLA alleles that displayed a significant positive or negative association with ESRD. We also determined whether heterozygosity or homozygosity of the ESRD-associated HLA alleles at different loci could modify the prevalence of the disease. Few HLA allele combinations displayed significant associations with ESRD, among which A*3_26 combination showed the highest strength of association (OR = 4.488, P≤ 0.05) with ESRD. Interestingly, the age of ESRD onset was not affected by HLA allele combinations at different loci. We also performed an extensive literature analysis to determine whether the association of HLA to ESRD can be similar across different ethnic groups. Our analysis showed that at least certain HLA alleles, HLA-A*11, HLA-DRB1*11, and HLA-DRB1*4, display a significant association with ESRD in different ethnic groups. The findings of our study will help in determining possible protective or susceptible roles of various HLA alleles in ESRD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to investigate the hypothesis that a genetic predisposition toward rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increases the risk of 10 cardiometabolic and autoimmune disorders previously associated with RA in epidemiologic studies, and to define new genetic pleiotropy present in RA. METHODS Two approaches were used to test our hypothesis. First, we constructed a weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) and then examined its association with 10 prespecified disorders. Additionally, a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) was carried out to identify potential new associations. Second, inverse variance-weighted regression (IVWR) meta-analysis was used to characterize the association between genetic susceptibility to RA and the prespecified disorders, with the results expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS The wGRS for RA was significantly associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 1.10 [95% CI 1.04-1.16]; P = 9.82 × 10-4 ) and multiple sclerosis (OR 0.82 [95% CI 0.77-0.88]; P = 1.73 × 10-8 ), but not with other cardiometabolic phenotypes. In the PheWAS, wGRS was also associated with an increased risk of several autoimmune phenotypes including RA, thyroiditis, and systemic sclerosis, and with a decreased risk of demyelinating disorders. In the IVWR meta-analyses, RA was significantly associated with an increased risk of type 1 DM (P = 1.15 × 10-14 ), with evidence of horizontal pleiotropy (Mendelian Randomization-Egger intercept estimate P = 0.001) likely driven by rs2476601, a PTPN22 variant. The association between type 1 DM and RA remained significant (P = 9.53 × 10-9 ) after excluding rs2476601, with no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy (intercept estimate P = 0.939). RA was also significantly associated with type 2 DM and C-reactive protein levels. These associations were driven by variation in the major histocompatibility complex region. CONCLUSION This study presents evidence of pleiotropy between the genetic predisposition to RA and associated phenotypes found in other autoimmune and cardiometabolic disorders, including type 1 DM.

Impact of HLA polymorphisms among cadaveric donors on kidney graft allocation. Transpl Immunol 2020; 62:101318. [PMID: 32623050 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2020.101318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 06/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
This study provides data on HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 frequencies among 861 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients from Croatia and estimates the benefit of the kidney exchange program by comparing HLA distribution and assessing HLA mismatches (MMs) within a group of ESRD patients who received kidney grafts from 707 cadaveric donors (422 from Croatia and 285 from Eurotransplant). Patients positive for HLA-B*07, -B*08, or -B*44 genes more often received a kidney from ET donors, while HLA-DRB1*11 and -DRB1*16 positive patients more frequently received a kidney from CRO donors. ABDR MM 000 was more frequently present in the case of transplantation from ET donors, while MM 222 was significantly more frequent when the donor was from Croatia. Sensitized patients received kidney more frequently from ET donors (P < .0001). A large pool of organ donors with different HLA gene distributions allows for a higher probability of transplantation from HLA highly matched donor.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a global public health problem and usually cause End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in the end of progression. To analyze the associations of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles at high resolution with ESRD in Jiangsu province of China, a total of 499 unrelated patients with ESRD from the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University and 1584 healthy controls from Jiangsu Branch of Chinese Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) were genotyped at HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 loci. Statistical analysis was applied to compare the differences of HLA allele frequencies between patients with ESRD and healthy controls. As results, no protective allele at A locus was found and the susceptible alleles were A*11:01 and A*31:01. At B locus, B*15:01, B*55:02 and B*39:05 emerged as susceptible alleles, whereas no protective allele was found. At C locus, C*06:02 and C*07:01 emerged as protective alleles and no susceptible allele was found. At DRB1 locus, six alleles including DRB1*03:01, DRB1*04:03, DRB1*04:04, DRB1*04:05, DRB1*11:01 and DRB1*12:02 emerged as susceptible alleles, while DRB1*15:01 emerged as a protective allele. At DQB1 locus, DQB1*02:01, DQB1*03:01, DQB1*03:02 and DQB1*04:01 emerged as susceptible alleles, while DQB1*06:02 and DQB1*06:09 emerged as protective alleles. Haplotype A*11:01-C*03:03-B*15:01-DRB1*11:01-DQB1*03:01 containing four susceptible alleles was regarded as the most susceptible haplotype. The susceptible alleles and haplotypes might be used as some important risk classification markers. Besides, in the consanguineous renal transplantation, it would be very beneficial for the long-term survival of renal transplant patients to avoid the susceptible alleles and haplotypes in selecting optimal donors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of chronic kidney failure is significantly increasing in Vietnam, causing a burden for health care. This study assessed the relationship of HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 alleles with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHOD A retrospective, cross-sectional study and a comparative study using secondary data analysis were conducted on 196 ESRD patients and 187 controls from 2009 to 2017. The patient and donor profiles were collected from medical records, including age, sex, etiology of renal failure, and HLA phenotypes. HLA-A*, -B*, and -DRB1* typing were done by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers. RESULT The most frequent HLA alleles in Vietnamese patients with ESRD were HLA-A*02, -A*11, -B*15, -B*46, -DRB1*04, -DRB1*09, and -DRB1*12. The haplotypes HLA-A*0233 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.15-0.98) had a negative association for ESRD. The haplotypes HLA-B*1515 (OR = 4.14, 95% CI: 1.52-11.26) and HLA-DRB1*1212 (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.06-3.81) had a positive association for ESRD. The haplotypes HLA-B*1515 (OR = 4.69, 95% CI: 1.69-13.03) and -DRB1*1212 (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.10-4.21) had a positive association for ESRD related to glomerulonephritis. The HLA-B*1557 (OR = 17.34, 95% CI: 2.70-11.49) had a positive association for ESRD related to hypertension. CONCLUSION The haplotypes of HLA class I and II had significant relationships with ESRD. The results of our study should be confirmed in further investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease (ESRD), the last stage of chronic renal failure, is a global health problem. The number of ESRD patients worldwide is increasing faster than the number of kidneys available per year for renal transplantation. Most of the ESRD patients are awaiting renal transplantation. The immune response to the transplanted kidney is directed mainly against mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) glycoproteins expressed on donor tissues. Thus, the analysis of HLA allele and haplotype polymorphisms is valuable not only for identifying ESRD susceptibility factors but also to improve graft survival. METHODS In this study, 163 Han ESRD patients were recruited to participate. The blood samples were genotyped by sequence-specific oligonucleotide method. A group of 14,529 healthy Chinese Han individuals registered at the Dalian Blood Center as bone marrow donors, living in the same region and of the same ethnicity, were used as controls. RESULTS We found that only one allele, HLA-DRB1*12, showed a positive association with ESRD (p = 0.004, pc = 0.028, odds ratio = 1.530, 95% confidence interval = 1.147-2.041); A*02-B*40-DRB1*09, A*02-B*40-DRB1*12, A*24-B*15-DRB1*12, and B*40-DRB1*12 were significantly more frequent in ESRD patients after Bonferroni correction (pc < 0.05). CONCLUSION They were potentially valuable predictors for evaluating the risk of ESRD in the Dalian Han population.
