To investigate the association between histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles and alveolar echinococcosis (AE).
Thirty-five patients with AE in high prevalence areas in Gansu Province of China were tested for the HLA-DRB1 gene using the polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) technique. The results were compared with those of 104 healthy individuals.
The frequency of the HLA-DRB1 * 040x gene was 26% in the patient group, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (9.62%) with a relative risk (RR) of 4.45 (chi(2) = 13.67, P < 0.01), and an etiological fraction (EF) of 0.20. The frequency of the HLA-DRB1 * 0701 allele was significantly lower in the patient group (2.86%) as compared to the control group (13.94%; chi(2) = 6.67, P < 0.05) with a preventable fraction (PF) of 0.30. The frequencies of other DRB1 alleles were not significantly different.
Susceptibility to AE is significantly associated with the HLA-DRB1 * 040x. HLA-DRB1 * 0701 gene might confer protection against AE in humans.
研究组织相容性白细胞抗原(HLA)-DRB1等位基因与肺泡型包虫病(AE)之间的关联。
采用聚合酶链反应-序列特异性引物(PCR-SSP)技术,对中国甘肃省高流行区的35例AE患者进行HLA-DRB1基因检测。将结果与104名健康个体的结果进行比较。
患者组中HLA-DRB1 * 040x基因频率为26%,显著高于对照组(9.62%),相对危险度(RR)为4.45(χ² = 13.67,P < 0.01),病因分值(EF)为0.20。患者组中HLA-DRB1 * 0701等位基因频率(2.86%)显著低于对照组(13.94%;χ² = 6.67,P < 0.05),可预防分值(PF)为0.30。其他DRB1等位基因频率无显著差异。
AE易感性与HLA-DRB1 * 040x显著相关。HLA-DRB1 * 0701基因可能对人类具有预防AE的作用。
