目的研究HLA-DRB1等位基因与HBV感染慢性化的相关性。方法用PCR-SSP方法对陕西地区汉族慢性乙肝患者108例与正常对照108人以及慢性乙型肝炎表面抗原携带者32人进行HLA—DRB1等位基因分型比较,并进行HLA-DRB1等位基因分型与HBV复制状态相关性分析。结果陕西地区汉族人HLA—DRB1等位基因以DR-B1*04(16.2%),DRB1*09(12.5%),DRB1*12(11.6%),DR-B1*15(13.4%)最为常见;病例组HLA—DRB1*03的等位基因频率(10.6%)明显高于健康对照组(3.7%),(OR=3.10;P〈0.05);HLA—DKB1*07等位基因频率病例组(17.6%)明显高于健康对照组(9.3%,(OR=2.09;P〈0.05);DRB1*07基因位点在HBV高复制状态多见(OR=2.22;P〈0.05)。结论HLA—DRB1*03、HLA—DRB1*07与陕西地区汉族人HBV感染后的慢性化相关联。该研究提示HLA-Ⅱ类基因与HBV感染慢性化有关联。
[Objective] To study the HLA-DRB1 genotype and their relation with HBV infection among Shaan'xi Han patients. [Methods] HLA-DRB1 genotyping was conducted in 108 case of chronic HBV infection and 108 health controls as well as 32 asymtomatic HBsAg cartier by using polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer method. All the patients, asymtomatic HBsAg cartier and health subjects were residents of Shaan'xi district and belonged to Han nationality. We also studied the association between HLA-DRB1 genotype and different replication of HBV. [Results] DRB1*04, DRB1*09, DRB1*12, DRB1*15 were the most common genotypes in the Shaan'xi Han residents with the frequency of 16.2%, 12.5%, 11.6% and 13.4% respectively. Compared to 108 health controls, the allele frequency of HLA-DRB1*03 (10.6% of HBV patients versus 3.7% of health controls, odds ratio=3.10; P 〈0.05) and HLA-DRBi*07 (17.6% of HBV patients versus 9.3% of health controls, odd ratio=2.09; P 〈0.05) were markedly higher. [Conclusion] HLA-DRB1*03 and HLA-DRB1*07 are closely related with susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B, and DRB1*15 is closely related with resistance to chronic hepatitis B. These finding suggest that host HLA class Ⅱ gene is an important factor determining the outcome of HBV infection.
