BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Host genetic diversity is believed to contribute to the spectrum of clinical outcomes in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The present study aimed at finding out the frequencies of HLA class I and class II alleles of HCV infected individuals from western India.
Forty three clinically characterized anti-HCV positive patients from Maharashtra were studied for HLA A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 alleles by PCR- sequence specific primer (SSP) typing method and compared with 67 and 113 ethnically matched, anti-HCV negative healthy controls from western India.
Our analysis revealed an association of HLA alleles HLA A03 (OR= 16.69, EF, 0.44, P=7.9E-12), A32 (OR= 1474, EF 0.21, P=1.8E-9), HLA B15 (OR=14.11, EF 0.39, P=2.18E-10), B55 (OR= 12.09, EF 0.07, P=0.005), Cw16 (OR= 7.45, EF 0.12, P=0.001), Cw18 (OR= 402, EF 0.05, P=0.003), DRB103 (OR= 4.01, EF 0.08, P=0.01) and DQB103 (OR= 3.02, EF 0.22, P=0.001), with HCV infection. HLA II locus haplotype DRB111-DQB103 (HF=17.64, OR=5.16, P=0.0001) was significantly increased among HCV infected individuals.
INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that among the western Indian population, certain HLA alleles or associated haplotype influence HCV infection as a host genetic factor.
宿主遗传多样性被认为是导致丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者临床表现多样化的原因之一。本研究旨在探讨来自印度西部 HCV 感染患者的人类白细胞抗原(HLA)I 类和 II 类等位基因的频率。
采用聚合酶链反应-序列特异性引物(PCR-SSP)方法,对来自马哈拉施特拉邦的 43 例具有临床特征的抗 HCV 阳性患者进行 HLA-A、B、C、DRB1 和 DQB1 等位基因分型,并与来自印度西部的 67 名和 113 名种族匹配的抗 HCV 阴性健康对照者进行比较。
我们的分析显示,HLA 等位基因 HLA-A03(OR=16.69,EF,0.44,P=7.9E-12)、A32(OR=1474,EF 0.21,P=1.8E-9)、B15(OR=14.11,EF 0.39,P=2.18E-10)、B55(OR=12.09,EF 0.07,P=0.005)、Cw16(OR=7.45,EF 0.12,P=0.001)、Cw18(OR=402,EF 0.05,P=0.003)、DRB103(OR=4.01,EF 0.08,P=0.01)和 DQB103(OR=3.02,EF 0.22,P=0.001)与 HCV 感染相关。HLA II 基因座单体型 DRB111-DQB103(HF=17.64,OR=5.16,P=0.0001)在 HCV 感染患者中显著增加。
本研究提示,在印度西部人群中,某些 HLA 等位基因或相关单体型可能作为宿主遗传因素影响 HCV 感染。
