Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between HLA-DP gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in people in Buyi,Miao and Shui ethnic groups in Guizhou.Methods A total of 256 patients with HBV infection,142 HBV self-cleared patients and 135 controls were recruited from 3 ethnic groups for this case-control study.Genotypes of rs3077 and rs9277535 were determined by using real-time PCR with a TaqMan-MGB probe.Results Compared with healthy subjects and self-cleared subjects,the allele distribution of rs9277535 was significantly associated with chronic HBV infection (P＜0.05),no significant differences in rs3077 allele and genotype distributions were found among 3 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with the rs9277535 GG genotype,the AA and AG genotypes were protective factors against HBV infection in dominant model after adjustment for age and sex (OR=0.645,95％CI:0.421-0.988),and no significant difference in rs3077 locus was found in the same analysis (P＞0.05).For men,the rs3077 locus CC and CT genotypes were also protective factors against HBV infection (OR=0.493,95％CI:0.266-0.916),and there was no significant difference in rs9277535 locus compared the genotype distributions among 3 groups in dominant mode.Comparison of allele and genotype distribution in 3 ethnic groups showed that HLA-DP gene rs3077 genotype distributions had significant difference between the HBV infection group and the healthy control group in Buyi ethnic group (x2=6.726,P=0.036).Conclusions The presence of rs9277535A allele at HLA-DP gene polymorphisms might decrease the risk for HBV infection,the rs3077 C allele at HLA-DP gene polymorphisms might also confer protective effect against HBV infection in women.No significant correlation between HLA-DP gene rs3077 and rs9277535 locus polymorphism and HBV clearance was found in this study.The HLA-DP gene rs3077 genotype distribution of HBV-infected patients had significant differences among different ethnic groups.
