To determine the relationship between susceptibility to atopic myelitis (AM) and polymorphisms of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DPB1 and -DRB1 alleles, we compared each phenotype frequency between 55 AM patients and 367 unrelated healthy controls in Japan. The HLA-DPB1*0201 allele was significantly more frequent in AM patients than in healthy controls (54.5% vs. 31.9%, corrected P value = 0.0150, odds ratio = 2.564, 95% confidence interval = 1.444-4.554). Our result suggests that the immunogenetic back-ground of AM differs from that of other CNS autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica, which show distinct HLA class II associations.
