HLA-DQ and Susceptibility to Celiac Disease: Evidence for Gender Differences and Parent-of-Origin Effects

Abstract: CD is confirmed to be more prevalent in female than in male (F:M = 1.8) but, in DQ2/DQ8 negative patients, we found an unexpected male excess (F:M = 0.7). Moreover, only the inheritance of a paternal DQ2 haplotype led to a daughters predominance. These data show a role of HLA genes on the disease sex bias and suggest a possible different effect of parent-specific epigenetic modifications in the two genders.

“…Overall, CD is twice as frequent among females as c ompared to males, possibly bec ause the nec essary HLA haplotypes, DQ2/DQ8, are more frequent in female than in male CD patients (i.e. 94% vs 85%) [4] . In addition, CD may be detected more frequently in females because females tend to seek medical care more often than males, usually at a younger age.…”

“…In the elderly, the ratio of newly diagnosed males is equivalent to newly diagnosed females. In the few DQ2/DQ8 -negative CD patients, there is a male exc ess, and only inheritanc e of a paternal DQ2 haplotype leads to a daughter's predominanc e [4] . While it is estimated that CD affec ts up to 2% of Caucasians, the risk is higher in first-degree relatives of affec ted sibling pairs (17%), monozygotic twins (75%), and HLA-identic al siblings (40%).…”

“…While to carry the two copies of DQB1*0201 is associated with increased disease risk, it has no effect on the early age onset and diagnosis or on the estimation of the severity of the disease [19]. In the recent studies, it has been showed that female patients often carry DO2.5 and/or DQ8 molecules, but males are oftenly negative for DQ2.5/DQ8 [20]. In our study, the number of male patients is low, so we couldn't detect this finding.…”

“…Estos últi-mos cuatro por padecer condiciones no asociadas a EC se agruparon bajo la categoría "otros" (Ver Tabla 2). coincide con los estudios reportados en la literatura cuya edad media se reporta en 45 años (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) . A esto se suma el hecho de que la mujer tiende a utilizar más los servicios de salud por factores socioculturales.…”

“…Se observó también una prevalencia alta en los grupos de la población de más edad siendo que un 29% es mayor de 50 años y un 18.5% supera los 60 años lo cual es similar a los rangos encontrados en diversas publicaciones que reportan un rango de 19-34 % en dicha población (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) . Este fenómeno podría estar relacionado con el mayor conocimiento que existe en la población sobre la enfermedad; al retraso en el diagnóstico por la mayor frecuencia de presentaciones atípicas en este grupo etario, así como a la existencia de nuevos y mejores métodos diagnósticos.…”
