Increased carriage of HLA-DQB1genotypes encoding DQ2/DQ8 serotypes in non-responders. (A) Comparison of HLA-DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 allele frequencies in the French Milieu Interieur (MI) cohort (n = 1,000) and in a European-American reference cohort [n = 1,899 (54)]. (B) Frequencies of DQ and DR serotype pairs in MI healthy controls, IFN non-responders and responders. (Resp = 10, NR = 9 and 8 for DR53). Pairwise comparison test between groups showed statistically significant difference of the DQ2/DQ8 frequency in NR vs MI HD (green rectangle) with *p < 0.05, adjusted for multiple comparisons. (C) Frequencies of DQ and DR serotypes in MI controls, IFN non-responders and responders.
