[HLA, schizophrenias and arthropathies]

W F Gattaz, S Kasper, R Ewald

    Psychiatria Clinica
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) B27 may be a genetic marker for both early-onset schizophrenia and arthropathies. These conditions appear mutually exclusive in individuals, suggesting distinct disease pathways.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Psychiatry
    • Rheumatology

    Context:

    • Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) B27 is associated with increased risk for arthropathies like Bechterew's disease.
    • Early-onset chronic paranoid schizophrenia has shown a higher prevalence of HLA A9 and B27.
    • The co-occurrence of schizophrenia and arthropathies in the same individual is generally considered rare.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the potential association between HLA B27 and the co-occurrence of schizophrenia and arthropathies.
    • To explore HLA B27 as a potential genetic marker for distinct disease subgroups.

    Summary:

    • A study found significantly more individuals with HLA B27 among chronic paranoid schizophrenics with early onset.
    • No cases of schizophrenia were detected in 288 arthropathic patients, and no arthropathies were found in 16 schizophrenic patients with HLA B27.
    • Arthropathic patients without HLA B27 showed a fivefold higher incidence of psychiatric diseases compared to those with HLA B27.

    Impact:

    • Data suggest HLA B27 may serve as a genetic marker for a specific subgroup of schizophrenia and arthropathies.
    • Findings support the hypothesis that schizophrenia and arthropathies are mutually exclusive conditions within an individual.
    • This research could inform future studies on the genetic underpinnings and distinct etiologies of these diseases.
