Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease, involving strong genetic components with familial predisposition. Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a non-classical HLA-class I molecule having several immunomodulatory functions. Polymorphisms in are associated with several autoimmune diseases including T1D. This study aims to evaluate the association of 14bp Ins/Del and +3142 C/G polymorphisms with T1D among the South Indian population.
Methods: The study was performed in a cohort of 123 T1D patients along with their 51 siblings and 126 parents. The association and linkage of 14bp Ins/Del and +3142 C/G polymorphisms with T1D were analysed, and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was performed.
Results: Significantly increased frequencies of 14bp Del/Del genotype (OR = 2.16, p = 0.0302) and Del allele (OR = 1.71, p = 0.0398) were observed in female patients compared to parents. Higher frequencies of DelDel/GG combined genotype (OR = 4.45, p = 0.0049) and Del/G haplotype (OR = 2.91, p = 0.0277) were observed in female patients compared to parents. TDT also revealed over-transmission of Del/G haplotype (25T vs 7UT; = 0.0015) and a strong linkage disequilibrium between the studied polymorphisms.
Conclusion: This familial study shows the association of 3'UTR 14bp Ins/Del polymorphism with the risk of T1D among the South Indian population, especially in females.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how variants in the HLA-G gene and soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) levels may relate to susceptibility to COVID-19 in 65 patients compared to 67 healthy controls.
- Key findings indicate that the 14-bp INS/DEL polymorphism increases the likelihood of experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, while the +3196C/G polymorphism appears protective.
- Additionally, higher serum levels of sHLA-G were found in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that these genetic factors could inform on immune responses and help identify individuals at higher risk or needing targeted treatments.

HLA-G is a physiology and pathologic immunomodulator detrimentally related to cancer. Its gene is heavily transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally regulated by variants located in regulator regions like 3'UTR, being the most studied Ins/Del of 14-bp (rs66554220), which is known to influence the effects of endogen cell factors; nevertheless, the reports are discrepant and controversial. Herein, the relationship of the 14-bp Ins/Del variant (rs66554220) with breast cancer (BC) and its clinical characteristics were analyzed in 182 women with non-familial BC and 221 disease-free women as a reference group.

Introduction: HLA-G plays a central role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. The HLA-G gene is characterized by low allelic polymorphism and restricted tissue expression compared with classical HLA genes. HLA-G polymorphism is associated with HLA-G expression and linked to pregnancy complications.
