Abstract
BACKGOUND and AIM: There are some common genetic features between celiac disease (CD) and diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM). However, the genetic risk factors have not been fully clarified for CD and the co-occurrence of CD and DM. KIR (killer immunoglobulin-like receptor) genes regulate the cytolitic activity of NK-cells and T lymphocytes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the contribution of KIR genes, KIR ligands, and combinations of KIR/KIR ligands on the genetic predisposition to CD and co-occurrence of CD and DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty six patients with CD (N=46), 20 patients with CD+DM (N=20), and 60 healthy controls (N=60) were included in this study. KIR genes and KIR ligands were investigated with PCR-SSOP and PCR-SSP in all subjects, respectively. RESULTS: This study showed that while the telomeric KIR genes (2DS5 and 3DS1), and combinations of 3DS1+HLA-BBw4-Thr- and 3DS1+HLA-BBw4-Iso- (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively) were observed more frequently in patients with CD than in controls, the 2DS5, 3DS1 KIR genes, C1 ligand, and combinations of 3DS1+HLA-BBw4-Thr- and 3DS1+HLA-BBw4-Iso- (p=0.002, p=0.004, p=0.036, p<0.001, and p=0.007, respectively) were observed more frequently in patients with CD+DM than in controls.
