Background: The effects of distinct HLA alleles on the brain and lesion volumes remain to be established, particularly in non-Caucasian populations. Two distinct susceptibility alleles, DRB1* 15: 01 and DRB1* 04: 05, are prevalent in the Japanese population; we therefore aimed to clarify the effects of HLA-DRB1 alleles on brain and lesion volumes in multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods: A total of 66 patients with MS (50 relapsing remitting, 16 progressive) underwent brain MRI volumetry measuring fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and T1 lesion volumes, and normalized whole-brain (NWBV), white matter (NWMV), gray matter (NGMV), cortical gray matter (NCGMV), deep gray matter (NDGMV) and thalamus (NTV) volumes, and HLA-DRB1 genotyping.Results: Carriers of HLA-DRB1* 15: 01 (+)* 04: 05 (−) and HLA-DRB1* 15: 01 (−)* 04: 05 (+) comprised 25.8% and31.8% of patients, respectively. HLA-DRB1* 15: 01 carriers showed negative correlations between disease duration and NWBV (rs=− 0.484, p=. 036), NWMV (rs=− 0.593, p=. 008), and NTV (rs=− 0.572, p=. 011), and positive correlations between disease duration and FLAIR (rs= 0.539, p=. 017) and T1 lesion volumes (rs= 0.545, p=. 016). By contrast, no significant correlation of any MRI parameters with disease duration was found in HLA-DRB1* 04: 05 carriers. HLA-DRB1* 15: 01 carriers had a significantly faster reduction in NWBV and NWMV by disease duration and smaller NDGMV than DRB1* 15: 01 non-carriers, whereas HLA-DRB1* 04: 05 carriers had a significantly slower increase in FLAIR and T1 lesion volumes than HLA-DRB1* 04: 05 non-carriers. Conclusions: Our study suggests that distinct HLA-DRB1 alleles could differentially influence brain and lesion volumes over the disease course of MS.
