In this study, we investigated the association of HLA-DPB1 and DQB1 with Thai patients with SLE. A highly significant increase in the frequency of DPB1*1502 and DQB1*0501 was found in SLE patients compared with normal controls. DRB1*1501 and DRB1*1602 were also slightly increased. In contrast, DPB1*1202 and DQB1*0301 were decreased, and DPB1*0406 and DPB1*1401 were not found in the patients' group. The haplotype analysis revealed that DRB1*1502 - DQB1*0501 was Most and also suggested a primary role for DRB1 strongly associated with SLE, rather than DQB1. Taken together with the previous report which demonstrated the association of the same haplotype in Taiwan, our present observations strongly suggested that DPB1*1502 - DQB1*0501 is the major HLA haplotype that confers susceptibility to SLE in the South-east Asian populations.
