HLA-DR5 explained

HLA-DR5 (DR5) is a broad-antigen serotype that is further split into HLA-DR11 and HLA-DR12 antigen serotypes.

Serology

DR11, DR5 and DR12 recognition of the gene products of some DRB1*11 and DRB1*12 alleles[1]

12:01 83 4 2 893 [2]
12:02 89 162
12:03 >50 3
12:06 >50 2

Except for a few DRB1* alleles, the reactivity of DR5 is relatively poor.

Disease associations

DR5 is associated with persistent generalized lymphadenopathy[3] and Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS,[4] juvenile rheumatoid arthritis,[5] [6] pernicious anemia, Hashimoto's thyroiditis,[7] [8] mycosis fungoides,[9] polyglandular deficiency syndrome,[10] systemic sclerosis,[11] [12] childhood epilepsy,[13] early-onset alopecia areata,[14] short-ragweed Ra6 allergy,[15] primary antiphospholipid syndrome,[16] and increased longevity in the Dutch.[17]

Genetic linkage

HLA-DR5 reactive gene products are linked to serology of HLA-DRB3 (HLA-DR52).
