A study of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene KIR2DS1 in a Caucasoid Brazilian population with psoriasis vulgaris
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease whose pathogenesis and genetic background remain unclear. Considering that previous studies have suggested an association of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), we typed 15 KIR genes and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw in 79 Brazilian Caucasoid patients with PV and 110 healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using sequence-specific oligonucleotides and sequence-specific primers. We did not observe a relevant increase in the frequency of the activating KIR2DS1 gene in the PV group [KIR2DS1, 46 of 79 cases (58.2%) vs 40 of 110 controls (36.4%)]. However, an association of KIR2DS1 with Cw*0602+ in 26.5% of PV patients was observed, while it was present in only 5.4% of controls. These results suggest that activating KIR2DS1 gene may not confer susceptibility to PV, and an association of KIR2DS1 gene with the HLA-Cw*0602+ was observed in these patients.
