  • 0201 Haplotype on the Risk for Multiple Sclerosis in Diverse Arab Populations in Israel
    Genes and Immunity (2010) 11, 423–431 & 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1466-4879/10 www.nature.com/gene ORIGINAL ARTICLE Opposing effects of the HLA-DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 haplotype on the risk for multiple sclerosis in diverse Arab populations in Israel G Benedek1,6, T Paperna2,6, N Avidan2, I Lejbkowicz2, JR Oksenberg3, J Wang3, C Brautbar1,4, S Israel4 and A Miller2,5, for the Israeli MS Genetics group7 1The Lautenberg Center for Immunology, Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel; 2Faculty of Medicine, Rappaport Research Institute, Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel; 3Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA; 4Tissue Typing and Immunogenetics Unit, Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel and 5Division of Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis Center, Carmel Medical Center, Haifa, Israel Different multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence rates were reported for Muslim and Christian Arabs in Israel. In this study, we evaluated whether associations of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes with MS may contribute to this prevalence difference. DNA samples from Israeli Arab MS patients (n ¼ 109) and controls (n ¼ 132) were typed for HLA class I (HLA-A, -B and -C) and II (HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1) genes. Global comparisons of HLA allele frequencies revealed significant differences between Christians and Muslims; therefore, case–control analyses were stratified by religious affiliation. Disease characteristics of Muslim and Christian Arab MS patients were similar to those reported for European populations. Opposing association signals with MS were observed for alleles composing the DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 haplotype: positive association of the HLA- DRB1*0301 allele in Muslims (PBonferroni ¼ 0.004, odds ratio (OR) ¼ 3.07), and negative association in Christian Arabs (PBonferroni ¼ 0.01, OR ¼ 0.12), with similar results obtained for HLA-DQB1*0201.

The present study investigated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of RA patients admitted to an ICU. Methods This retrospective cohort study included RA patients admitted to the general ICU of the Sheba Medical Center during 2002–2018. The main outcome was 30-day mortality. Using Student’s t test, χ2, and multivariable analyses, we compared the demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters of the survivors and the non-survivors. Figures with p value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Forty-three RA patients were admitted to the ICU during the study period (mean age, 64.0 ± 13.1 years; 74.4% female). The leading causes of ICU admission were infection (72.1%), respiratory failure (72.1%), renal failure (60.5%), and septic shock (55.8%). The 30-day mortality rate was 34.9%, with infection (9/15, 60%) as the most frequent cause.
