|Prompt=A 40-year-old Caucasian female presents to the physician's office with complaints of an episode of double vision. The patient had a similar episode 4 weeks prior to presentation, which also self-resolved. Physical examination and neurological exam appear to be normal, but a cranial MRI demonstrates several periventricular plaques. Which of the following disease descriptions share the same HLA subtype association as the patient's condition?

Which disease share the same HLA subtype association as the patient's condition?
|Explanation=[[Multiple sclerosis]] ([[MS]]), an [[autoimmune]] neurological disease, is characterized by episodic [[demyelination]] of [[oligodendrocytes]] in the [[central nervous system]] ([[CNS]]) and axonal destruction in the [[peripheral nervous system]] ([[PNS]]), which gradually debilitates the patient until death.  [[MS]] frequently affects middle-aged Caucasian females and manifests as numerous periventricular plaques upon cranial MRI. MS is associated with [[HLA-DR2]].

|AnswerA=Pencil-in-cup deformity of end joints
|AnswerA=Pencil-in-cup deformity of end joints
|AnswerAExp=[[Psoriatic arthritis]] is frequently characterized by pencil-in-cup deformity of end joints. [[Psoriatric arthritis]] affects approximately 30% of patients with [[psoriasis]], a disease associated with the HLA-B27 subtype.
|AnswerAExp=[[Psoriatic arthritis]] is frequently characterized by pencil-in-cup deformity of end joints. [[Psoriatric arthritis]] affects approximately 10-15 % of patients with [[psoriasis]]. Psoriatic arthritis is associated with the HLA-B27 subtype. Other seronegative arthropaties, namely ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome), are also associated with the HLA-B27 subtype.
|AnswerB=Skip lesions and granulomatous inflammation of a bowel section
|AnswerB=Skip lesions and granulomatous inflammation of a bowel section
|AnswerBExp=[[Crohn's disease]] is frequently characterized by skip lesions and granulomatous inflammation of a bowel section.  [[Crohn's disease]] is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that is associated with HLA-B27 subtype.
|AnswerBExp=[[Crohn's disease]] is frequently characterized by skip lesions and granulomatous inflammation of a bowel section.  Arthritis of [[crohn's disease]] is associated with HLA-B27 subtype.
|AnswerC=Lymphocytic infiltratoin with germinal centers of the thyroid gland
|AnswerC=Lymphocytic infiltratoin with germinal centers of the thyroid gland
|AnswerCExp=[[Hashimoto thyroidis]], frequently characterized by lymphocytic infiltratoin with germinal centers of the thyroid gland, is associated with [[HLA-DR5]] subtype.
|AnswerCExp=[[Hashimoto thyroidis]] is characterized by lymphocytic infiltratoin with germinal centers of the thyroid gland. Hashimoto thyroiditis and pernicious anemia (vitamin B12 deficiency due to auto-antibodies against gastric parietal cells) are associated with [[HLA-DR5]] subtype.
|AnswerD=Antibodies against glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM)
|AnswerD=Antibodies against glomerular basement membrane
|AnswerDExp=[[Goodpasture's syndrome]], frequently characterized by antibodies against glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM), is considered a pulmorenal syndrome because it affects the lungs and the kidneys' basement membranes. [[Goodpasture's syndrome]], similar to MS, is associated with HLA-DR2 subtype.
|AnswerDExp=[[Goodpasture syndrome]] is characterized by auto-antibodies against glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM). It is considered a pulmorenal syndrome because it affects the lungs and the kidneys' basement membranes. [[Goodpasture syndrome]], similar to MS, is associated with HLA-DR2 subtype. Other diseases associated with HLA-DR2 subtype are hay fever and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
|AnswerE=Antibodies against parietal cells of the stomach
|AnswerE=Antibodies against gastric parietal cells
|AnswerEExp=[[Pernicious anemia]], frequently characterized by antibodies against parietal cells of the stomach, is an autoimmune cause of vitamin B12 deficiency. [[Pernicious anemia]] is associated with HLA-DR5, similarly to Hashimoto thyroiditis.
|AnswerEExp=[[Pernicious anemia]] is characterized by auto-antibodies against gastric parietal cells. Pernicious anemia is a cause of vitamin B12 because parietal cells normally produce intrinsic factor (IF), a glycoprotein that binds to vitamin B12 and allows its migration along the GI tract before it is absorbed in the terminal ileum. [[Pernicious anemia]] and Hashimoto thyroiditis are associated with HLA-DR5.

Pernicious anemia is a cause of vitamin B12 because parietal cells normally produce intrinsic factor (IF), a glycoprotein that binds to vitamin B12 and allows its migration along the GI tract before it is absorbed in the terminal ileum.

Right Answer RightAnswer::D
Explanation [[Explanation::Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurological disease that is characterized by episodic demyelination of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and axonal destruction in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which gradually debilitates the patient until death. MS frequently affects middle-aged Caucasian females and manifests as numerous periventricular plaques upon cranial MRI. MS is associated with HLA-DR2.

Several immunologic diseases are associated with different HLA-subtypes. The HLA-DR2 subtype is associated with MS, hay fever, systemic lupus erytheromatosus (SLE), and Goodpasture syndrome, characterized by antibodies against glomerular basement membranes (anti-GBM).
Educational Objective: The HLA-DR2 subtype is associated with MS, hay fever, systemic lupus erytheromatosus (SLE), and Goodpasture syndrome.
