In our study, HLA-DRB1*09:01 , - DQA1*03:02 and - DQB1*03:03 , the susceptibility alleles for MPO-AAV in East Asian populations ( 12 – 16 ) showed a trend toward a higher risk of relapse of MPO-AAV in a Japanese population, possibly suggesting that the susceptibility alleles for AAV may also be associated with relapse in each ethnic group.

These alleles showed a trend toward protection from relapse, although the differences did not reach statistical significance.
