To investigate the association between HLA antigens and Graves' disease among Japanese, serologic typing and DPB1 genotyping using the PCR-RFLP method have been performed. HLA alleles of 106 patients with Graves' disease were determined, and the frequency of HLA-B46 was found to be significantly increased. Furthermore, the frequencies of HLA antigens were compared between two age groups: early-onset and late-onset patients (under and over 20 years, respectively). It was found that the frequency of DPB1*0501 (88.9%) was significantly increased (p(c) < 0.004) in the early-onset group as compared with the healthy controls (55.0%) but not in the late-onset group (60.7%). On the other hand, a significant increase of HLA-B46 was observed in the late-onset patients (p(c) < 0.0004). These results suggest that the genetic background of Japanese patients with early-onset Graves' disease is different from late-onset patients. Namely, the HLA-DP allele (DPB1*0501) and the HLA-B allele (B46) are primarily involved in the pathogenesis of early-onset and late-onset Graves' disease in Japanese, respectively.
