Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the polymorphism of HLA-DM gene in Cantonese patients with condyloma acuminata(CA) and determine the susceptible genetic factors of CA.
METHODSDMA and DMB typing was performed in 98 Cantonese patients with CA and 93 healthy controls using restriction fragment length polymorphism method.
RESULTSThe gene frequencies of DMA*0101 and DMB*0101 were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively), and gene frequency of DMA*0102 was lower in patients than in the controls (P<0.01). Genotype frequencies of HLA-DM showed no significant difference between CA patients and the controls (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONDMA*0101 and DMB*0101 alleles may be the susceptibility genes or closely linked to the susceptibility gene in Cantonese patients with CA.
