We studied the first domain of theHLA-DRB1,HLA-DQA1, andHLA-DQB1loci of 67 HLA-DRw8-positive Caucasians including 43 with early-onset pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (EOPA-JRA, alternatively known as early-onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis). Serology, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) oligotyping revealed that 62, including all the EOPA-JRA patients, carried theHLA-DRB1*0801, DQA1*0401, DQB1*0402genotype. Approximately onefifth of the controls carried atypicalHLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, and/orHLA-DQB1loci on theirHLA-DRw8haplotype confirmed by family studies. DNA sequences ofHLA-DRB1, DQA1,andDQB1alleles in patients and controls were identical to those previously reported. Disease association studies in 113 EOPA-JRA patients and 207 controls unselected for HLA-DRw8 revealed that theHLA-DRB1*0801, DQA1*0401, DQB1*0402genotype was associated with a higher relative risk (RR) for disease (RR = 12.8, χ2= 48.8,P< 10−4) than was the serologically defined presence of HLA-DRw8 (RR = 8, χ2= 39,P< 10−4). Further analysis suggested that theDQgenes onHLA-DRw8haplotypes are as likely as theDRgenes to contribute to the pathogenesis of EOPA-JRA. This study increases to five the number ofHLA-DR/DQhaplotypes identified inHLA-DRw8Caucasians.
