Macroscopic changes in the sigmoid colon with <i>B*48</i> and the rectum with <i>A*30</i>. In microscopic changes, inflammatory alterations of the ileum are mentioned with genotypes <i>DRB1*07, DRB1*13</i> and <i>DRB1*14</i>, a genotype that is related to changes in the ileum both endoscopically and histologically (p<0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings indicate a potential genetic predisposition related to HLA genotypes that may increase the likelihood of food intolerance, gastrointestinal symptoms, and even visible and microscopic changes, specifically in the ileal tissue. The study highlights the presence of B*27 and other noteworthy HLA class I and class II genes (such as DRB1*14) in the diverse Colombian population.</p>","PeriodicalId":101421,"journal":{"name":"Revista alergia Mexico (Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico : 1993)","volume":"71 1","pages":"66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140873410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
