Background: Tumor cells express surface structures different from normal cells. These structures may be recognized by the immune system, which ensure anti-tumoral surveillance. Antigenic presentation requires HLA molecules role. Since, these molecules are encoded by a high polymorphic system, immune response can be modulated according to HLA genotype. So, HLA polymorphism could be correlated with tumor escape from anti-tumor immunosurveillance.
Aim: We have aimed to search for possible associations between HLA DQB1 alleles and the histoprognostical parameters in breast cancer in the Tunisian population.
Methods: DQB1 alleles were determined by PCR-SSO molecular typing in 100 healthy matched and unrelated Tunisian female and 87 Tunisian women with breast cancer.
Results: Allelic distribution between the two studied groups showed no significant associations between this locus and the occurrence, the EE grade and the lymph node invasion of breast cancer in the Tunisian population.
Conclusion: This result may be explained by the fact that cancer is a multifactoral disease due to several interacting factors that might change from one population to another.

: Several significant associations between certain Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles and myasthenia gravis (MG) subtypes were established in populations from Western Europe and North America and, to a lesser extent, from China and Japan. However, such data are scarcely available for Eastern Europe. This study aimed to analyze the associations of HLA Class I and II alleles with MG and its serological subtypes (with anti-acetylcholine receptor autoantibodies, RAch+MG, and double-seronegative, dSNMG) in myasthenic patients of Romanian descent.

This retrospective study analyses the impact HLA heterozygosity, supertypes, and alleles have on incidence of graft versus host disease (GvHD), relapse, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and transplant-related mortality (TRM) after HSCT. The study included patients who underwent HSCT, typed at allele resolution level for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 loci. The analysis performed on the entire patient cohort (N = 232) showed that HLA-B07 supertype positive patients demonstrated decreased incidence of relapse, better OS and DFS in comparison to those negative for HLA-B07 supertype.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy and the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that occurs worldwide. To discover risk factors and pathogenesis of DLBCL, we performed the largest GWAS of DLBCL to date in samples of East Asian ancestry, consisting of 2,888 patients with DLBCL and 12,458 controls. The meta-analysis identified three novel loci, rs2233434 on 6p21.

Introduction: Cytokines and chemokines direct the inflammatory response and may serve as markers of immune dysregulation in Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), an autoimmune blistering skin disorder. Previous studies on limited numbers of patients and cytokine profiles in PV have produced equivocal results regarding the role these mediators play in disease.
Methods: In this study, we interrogated serum samples from 116 PV patients and 29 healthy controls by multiplexed bead array assays across a comprehensive set of cytokines and chemokines covering several functional categories, including IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, TNFα, IFNγ, MCP-1, and Eotaxin.
