Abstract

Objective: To identify the rate of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). To compare the rate of MHC between the psoriatic arthritis group carrying plaque psoriasis (PPs) and control group. Subject and method: Prospective and cross-sectional study were conducted at Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Venereology from January 2016 to March 2017. Among 40 PsA patients qualified for CASPAR criteria, 37 patients with PPs agreed to participate the treatment group. 33 subjects in the control had no arthritis and psoriasis. Both groups had similar ratio of gender and age, tested for HLA-B27, HLA-Cw06, HLA-DR7 by Sequence Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (SSP-PCR), and HLA serotyping assay HLA-B and HLA-C by DNA sequencing to find the relationship between the rates of MHCs in PsA patients. Result: The HLA-B27 ratio in PsA was 32.5%, PPs was 18.92%, the control group was 9.09%. The rate of HLA-Cw06 in PsA was 7.5%, PPs was 18.92%, the control group was 3.03%. The rate of HLA-DR7 in PsA was 32.5%, PPs was 27.30%, the control group was 24.24%. PsA patients carrying HLA-B27 had higher risk of PsA with RR = 1.6. PsA with HLA-B27(+) was at risk for severe arthritis. PsA patient with HLA-Cw06(+) had early onset and rapid transient time from PPs to PsA. PsA with HLA-DR7(+) delayed the progression from PPs to PsA. Conclusion: HLA-B27 is associated with PsA. PsA with HLA-B27(+) has a higher risk of severe arthritis, PsA with HLA-Cw06(+) associated with early onset PsA, and PsA with HLA-DR7(+) delayed progression from plaque psoriasis to PsA.
