Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find genetic markers linked to tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome through HLA genotyping in a group of 18 patients.
- Significant associations were identified with specific HLA alleles, particularly HLA-DQA1*01 and HLA-DRB1*01, indicating a strong genetic link to the disease.
- The findings suggest that the combination of HLA-DQA1*01 and HLA-DQB1*05 is especially important for increasing the risk of developing TINU syndrome, complicating the assessment of individual allele contributions due to their genetic linkage.
