HLA-DRB1 and interstitial nephritis: It should be noted that these two comparator groups were conducted in a European population (and the control rates were also based on published European allelic frequencies), but it is striking that the HLA-DRB1*0102 allele was associated with the uveitis cohort (RR = 14.3) but not in those with tubulointerstitial nephritis without uveitis; this uveitis cohort was also associated with HLA-DRB1*08 (RR = 4.0), an allele which had not been found to be associated with the original TINU cohort (n = 1/18).
