However, there is currently little understanding of their role in antibody-mediated skin diseases such as autoimmune blistering disorders. We researched the available literature using PubMed to narratively review the current knowledge on HLA associations in antibody-mediated blistering skin pathologies. Our results summarized the risk alleles that are identified in the literature, together with certain known protective alleles: in the pemphigus group, alleles HLA-DQB1*0503 and HLA-DRB1*0402 are most commonly associated with disease; in the pemphigoid group, the most studied allele is HLA-DQB1*0301; in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, few genetic studies are available; in dermatitis herpetiformis, the association with haplotypes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 is strongly established; finally, in linear IgA bullous disease, specific HLA alleles may be responsible for pediatric presentations. Our current pathogenic understanding of this group of disorders assigns a key role to predisposing HLA class II alleles that are able to bind disease autoantigens and therefore stimulate antigen-specific autoreactive T cells. The latter engage B lymphocytes that will produce pathogenic autoantibodies. The distribution of HLA alleles and their disease associations are variable across demographics, and an in-depth pathogenetic understanding is needed to support associations between HLA alleles and disease phenotypes. Additionally, in a personalized medicine approach, the identification of HLA alleles associated with the risk of disease may become clinically relevant in identifying susceptible subjects that should avoid exposure to known triggers, such as medication, when possible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59111950","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,4]],"date-time":"2023-11-04T14:51:01Z","timestamp":1699109461000},"page":"1950","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Role of Human Leukocyte Antigen Class II in Antibody-Mediated Skin Disorders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1985-0326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alvise","family":"Sernicola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1588-2061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Mazzetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8838-7649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacopo","family":"Tartaglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9098-4124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Ciolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Miceli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mauro","family":"Alaibac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine (DIMED), University of Padua, 35121 Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.2007.48.1.11","article-title":"The HLA System: Genetics, Immunology, Clinical Testing, and Clinical Implications","volume":"48","author":"Choo","year":"2007","journal-title":"Yonsei Med.
