| 1 | Association of human leukocyte antigen DQB1 and DRB1 alleles with chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of human leukocyte antigen(HLA) DRB1 and DQB1 alleles on the inactive and advanced stages of chronic hepatitis B.METHODS: Patient records at a single institution's hepatology clinic were reviewed. Demographic data, laboratory results, endoscopy results, virological parameters, biopsy scores and treatment statuses were recorded. In total, 355 patients were eligible for thestudy, of whom 226(63.7%) were male. Overall, 82(23.1%) were hepatitis B early antigen(HBeAg) positive, 87(24.5%) had cirrhosis, and 66(18.6%) had inactive disease. The presence of DQB1 and DRB1 alleles was determined by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers. The distribution of the genotyped alleles among patients with cirrhosis and patients with chronic active hepatitis was analyzed.RESULTS: The most frequent HLA DQB1 allele was DQB1*03:01(48.2%), and the most frequent HLA DRB1 allele was DRB1*13/14(51.8%). DQB1*05:01 was more frequent in patients with active disease than in inactive patients(27% vs 9.1%; P = 0.002, Pc = 0.026). DRB1*07 was rare in patients with cirrhosis compared with non-cirrhotics(3.4% vs 16%; P = 0.002, Pc = 0.022). Older age(P < 0.001) and male gender(P = 0.008) were the other factors that affected the presence of cirrhosis. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, DRB1*07 remained a significant negative predictor of cirrhosis(P = 0.015). A bioinformatics analysis revealed that a polymorphic amino acid sequence in DRB1*07 may alter interaction with the T-cell recognition site.CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that HLA alleles may influence cirrhosis development and disease activity in Turkish chronic hepatitis B patients. | Levent Doganay Arta Fejzullahu Seyma Katrinli Feruze Yilmaz Enc Oguzhan Ozturk Yasar Colak Celal Ulasoglu Ilyas Tuncer Gizem Dinler Doganay | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，25： | 3 |
