RESUMO

The Martinican population is mainly the product of admixture between African people and French Caucasians. The aim of the present study is to investigate at the DNA level the polymorphism of HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B) and class II (HLA-DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1) genes in a population of 100 Martinicans. Allelic distributions and interlocus linkage disequilibria were compared to those observed in a French Caucasian population and in African or North American African populations. Our data revealed a higher degree of polymorphism in Martinicans than in Caucasians and showed a prominant contribution of African origin in the admixed genetic feature of this population. African characteristic alleles were significantly represented in Martinicans: A*30, *33 *34, *66, *74, *8001, B*1510, *35, *42, *53, DRB1*0302, *0804, *1202, *1304, *1503, DPB1*0101, *1701, *1801, *3901. Moreover a higher diversity of A*-B* and DRB1*-DQB1* associations was observed in Martinicans compared to Caucasians which also reflects the African genetic background of this population. In the whole, using PCR-based genotyping methods for HLA class I and class II loci, this study allows a preliminary description of HLA allele distribution in this Caribbean island and gives new elements which may be helpful in the anthropologic field as well as in HLA and disease association studies.

RESUMO

HLA-A,B,C, and DR frequencies have been determined in 34 Coloured Martinican IDDM patients to establish the HLA and IDDM associations. HLA A3, B15, B18, Cw3 and DR4 antigens associations with IDDM are confirmed by this study. We found an increase of B21 similar to that found in Asiatic Indians. As in some African Black populations and in Cape coloured people, A1, B8, and DR3 are not increased in our population. We should point out that our patients' ages of onset were low, and that some studies have found DR4 association in young patients and DR3 in older ones. The protective role of DR2 is confirmed here. B35 and Cw4 negative associations have been found. We have observed that the antigens associated with IDDM are decreased in our control population, except DR4, and that the negative associated DR/ and Cw4 antigens are increased compared to the Continental French population. This corresponds with the low IDDM incidence in Blacks and Coloured people.

RESUMO

This is the first time a study has been undertaken on the HLA profile of the Martinican population, a population which is essentially the product of intermixture between African-Negroes and French Caucasians. Two hundred and thirty-eight nonrelated subjects were typed for the A and B loci, 158 subjects for C locus and 128 for DR locus. After analysis of our parameters (antigen and gene frequencies, linkage disequilibria, etc.) and their comparison to those found in the Black and Caucasian control populations, we came to the conclusion that our racially-mixed population is closer to the African-Negro population than to the French Caucasian. A study of the average gene flow enabled us to evaluate the Caucasian contribution as being about 30%. This figure is subject to change inasmuch as racial intermixture continues. Socio-cultural variables are assumed to play a minimal role, given the high rate of illegitimacy.
