No entanto, a avaliação em populações afro-descendentes ainda foi pouco estudada. Os propósitos deste estudo foram os de determinar a freqüência dos alelos HLA-DRB1 e as contribuições do polimorfismo desses alelos na susceptibilidade da AR na população afrobrasileira. Este estudo avaliou também, se a teoria do epitopo semelhante (SE) e o modelo de proteção da Artrite Reumatóide (RAP Model) se aplicam aos pacientes afro-brasileiros com AR. Os alelos HLA-DRB1 de 72 pacientes afro-brasileiros com AR, diagnosticados pelos critérios do American College of Rheumatology (ACR), e de 75 indivíduos saudáveis foram tipados e subtipados utilizando-se a técnica de reação em cadeia de polimerase de DNA amplificado hibridizado, com seqüência de primers específicos de alta e baixa resolução, e depois comparados. Os alelos HLADRB1 *0404 e *0405 apresentaram freqüência maior nos pacientes do que no grupo controle. Já, alelo HLA-DRB1*0102 apresentou uma freqüência aumentada no grupo controle (9,3%), quando comparada com a freqüência nos pacientes. Os alelos DRB1 considerados como pertencentes ao grupo do epitopo semelhante estavam presentes em 39 pacientes (54,2%) e em 20 controles (26,7%), indicando que teoria do epitopo semelhante se aplica à população afro-brasileira com Artrite Reumatóide. Os alelos HLA-DRB1 que apresentavam a sequência DERAA (alelos protetores) reduziram, de forma independente, o risco de desenvolver AR. Os dados obtidos apontam para uma intensa miscigenação racial presente no Brasil. Assim, como nos faz concluir que a susceptibilidade da Artrite Reumatóide em afro-brasileiros é, provavelmente, mediada pela interação de fatores genéticos e étnicos / Abstract: The association of histocompatibility antigens with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) comes being demonstrated in innumerable studies. However, the evaluation in afrodescendents populations still little was studied. The aim of this study has been to determine the frequency of HLA-DRB1 alleles, and the contributions of the polymorphism of these alleles in the susceptibility of RA in the Afro-Brazilian population as well. This study, also evaluated, if the theory of the shared epitope (SE) and the model of protection of the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RAP Model) can also be applied to the Afro-Brazilian patients suffering RA. The HLA-DRB1 alleles in 72 Afro-Brazilian patients suffering RA, diagnosed in accordance to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and of 75 healthful volunteers had been typed and sub-typed using the technique of the polymerase chain reaction of the amplified hybridized DNA, with specific sequence of primers of high and low resolution, were then compared. The HLA-DRB1 *0404 and *0405 alleles had presented higher frequency in the patients group than in the control group. The HLADRB1 *0102 alleles presented a frequency increased (9,3%) in the control group, when compared with the patients group. The DRB1 alleles considered as pertaining to the group of shared epitope were present in 39 patients (54.2%) and in 20 members of the control group(26.7%), indicating that the theory of the shared epitope it is also applied to the Afro-Brazilian population with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The HLADRB1 alleles that presented DERAA sequence (protectors alleles), had reduced, of independent form, the risk to develop RA. The gotten data point to an intense racial miscegenation in Brazil. Thus, as in it makes them to conclude that the susceptibility of the Rheumatic Arthritis in Afro-Brazilian is, probably, determined by the interaction of genetic and ethnic factors / Mestrado / Clinica Medica / Mestre em Clinica Medica
