説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title><jats:p>In the human population different<jats:italic>HLA-C</jats:italic>allotypes are present that have different expression levels at the cell surface. Individuals with higher expressed<jats:italic>HLA-C</jats:italic>allotypes demonstrate better HIV control but increased risk of Crohn disease. A microRNA, miR-148a, regulates expression of some HLA-C allotypes. We report here that this microRNA also varies in expression level between people.<jats:italic>MIR148A</jats:italic>variation showed significant and opposing effects on HIV viral control vs. risk of Crohn disease, specifically in subjects with<jats:italic>HLA-C</jats:italic>alleles that are regulated by miR-148a. These results are independent of confounding effects by other<jats:italic>HLA</jats:italic>loci because only HLA-C is regulated by miR-148a. Our data represent an example of gene interactions that affect immune response and thereby the risk of human disease.</jats:p>
