Background: Infants' immunological responses to cow's milk (CM) proteins, which in 2-3% result in allergy, may partially depend on genetic factors. We evaluated whether genes with immunological functions, i.e. human leukocyte antigen (HLA) II, the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) and filaggrin, modulate immune responses to dietary antigens. Methods: We analyzed 14 HLA class II haplotypes, the PTPN22 1858 SNP (R620W allele) and 5 known filaggrin null mutations from blood samples of 87 patients with CM allergy (CMA) and 76 control subjects (age 8.0-9.3 years). Serum levels of IgA, IgG, IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies to beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-casein and ovalbumin were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, levels of IgE antibodies to CM, ovalbumin and birch with UniCap (Phadia, Uppsala, Sweden). Results: In children with CMA, the HLA (DR15)-DQB1*0602 haplotype was associated with high levels of beta-lactoglobulin-specific total IgG (p < 0.001) and IgG4 (p < 0.001) and alpha-casein-specific total IgG (p = 0.003) and IgG4 (p = 0.002), but not among control subjects. (DR1/10)-DQB1*0501 was associated with lower levels of beta-lactoglobulin-specific total IgG (p < 0.001) and IgG4 (p < 0.001), ovalbumin-specific total IgG (p = 0.002) and IgG4 (p < 0.001), particularly in control subjects (p ! 0.001). Six children with eczema (3 with CMA) had the filaggrin mutation del22824. PTPN22 was not associated with specific antibody responses or CMA. Conclusion: The HLA II, but not PTPN22 or filaggrin, genotype modulates humoral responses to early food allergens, whereas none of these genes was associated with CMA. Copyright (C) 2009 S.
