The serotyping efficiency of DQ9 is poor. The recognition of DQB1*0303 by DQ9 and or DQ3 is poorest, DQ2 which recognizes a different DQB1 subgroup recognizes DQB1*0303 as efficiently as DQ3. For this reason DQ9 serotyping is a poor method of typing for transplantation or disease association prediction or study.
DQB1*0303
(DQ9) is associated with nasal polyps,[2]gestational diabetes,[3] microscopic polyangiitis (Japanese). Primary linkage is with DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303 [4]
Haplotypes and disease
DQ9.2
DQA1*0201:DQB1*0303 is associated with type I psoriasis (vulgaris),[5][6]
DQ9.3
DQA1*0302:DQB1*0303 maybe associated with juvenile diabetes in the orient.[7][8]
(Chinese) Primary linkage of vitiligo is with DQA1*03-DQB1*0303.[9]
