2002), or genes encoding reconnaissance molecules known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which control the action of T-cells (Hughes and Nei 1988; Yeager and Hughes 1999) (Box 1).
Such regions include the class III major histocompatibility complex and histone gene clusters on chromosome 6, the human alpha-globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16, and others.
This is consistent with evidence for the occurrence on Ch6p of multiple distinct susceptibility genes for patterns of immunoglobulin deficiency, some recessive and others dominant [ 20 ] . For example, at least two putative alleles associated with heritable IgA deficiency occur on Ch6p, and each is associated with a different major histocompatibility (MHC) region haplotype [ 22 23 ] , whereas a putative susceptibility locus on chromosome 18 is not a major contributor to selective IgA deficiency [ 24 ] . Allele(s) on chromosomes other than Ch6p may also influence the phenotypic expression of CVID and IgGSD in adults.
AS = ankylosing spondylitis; B27 = histocompatibility antigen B27; CREST = calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia; E 2 = estradiol-17β JRA = juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; RAD = rheumatic/autoimmune disease; SLE = systemic lupus erythematosus.
For instance, HIV-1 infection is able to down-regulate major histocompatibility complex type I (MHC-I) by various different viral proteins, including Tat which represses the transcription of MHC-I, Vpu which retains nascent MHC-I chains in the endoplasmic reticulum, and Nef which can mediate selective internalization of MHC-I molecules from the plasma membrane.
