HLA-DQ6 (DQ6) is a human leukocyte antigen serotype within HLA-DQ (DQ) serotype group. The serotype is determined by the antibody recognition of β6 subset of DQ β-chains. The β-chain of DQ isoforms are encoded by HLA-DQB1 locus and DQ6 are encoded by the HLA-DQB1*06 allele group. This group currently contains many common alleles, DQB1*0602 is the most common. HLA-DQ6 and DQB1*06 are almost synonymous in meaning. DQ6 β-chains combine with α-chains, encoded by genetically linked HLA-DQA1 alleles, to form the cis-haplotype isoforms. For DQ6, however, cis-isoform pairing only occurs with DQ1 α-chains. There are many haplotypes of DQ6.

DQB1*0609

DQB1*0609 is found in Africa and proximal regions of Eurasia.

Haplotypes and disease

Susceptibility to Leptospirosis infection was found associated with undifferentiated DQ6.[3] Whereas DQ6 was protective against death (or need for liver transplantion) in primary sclerosing cholangitis.[4]

DQ6.1

DQA1*0103:DQB1*0601 (DQ6.1) is found at increased freqeuncies in Asia and is almost absent in Western Europe. It confers protection from narcolepsy,[5] juvenile diabetes,[6][7] Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome,[8] pemphigus vulgaris,[9] multiple sclerosis,[10] myasthenia gravis.

DQ6.2

DQ6.2 (DQA1*0102 : DQB1*0602) is commonly linked to DR15 and as such is part of the HLA B7-DR15-DQ6 haplotype. This haplotype is considered to be the longest multigene haplotype known within the human genome as it covers over 4.7 million nucleotides. The DR15-DQ6.2 haplotype is the most common DR-DQ haplotype in Europe, and approximately 30% of Americans carry at least DQ6.2. The haplotype is even more common in Central Asia.

DQ6.2 associations with disease

For myasthenia gravis, recognition α34-49 of AChR increased with DQ6.2.[11] DQA1*0102 increases risk cervical cancer.[12][13] In multiple sclerosis DQA1*0102 was the most frequent allele and DQB1*0602 increased significantly in the MS patients.[14][15][16]

Protective effects of DQ6.2

In primary biliary cirrhosis DQ6.2 appears to have a negative association with disease.[17] DQ6.2 also appears to have a protective effect in juvenile diabetes.[18][19] DQ6.2 is also protective against infantile spasms in mestizos.[20]

DQ6.3

DQ6.3 (DQA1*0103 : DQB1*0603) is found in northcentral Europe at moderate frequencies, it is a protective against many autoimmune diseases. It also affords some protection to HIV infection.[21]

DQ6.4

DQ6.4 (DQA1*0102 : DQB1*0604) might be associated with thymoma-induced myastenia gravis.[22]
