The frequency of antigens HL-A 1 (48%) and HL-A 8 (52%) in 54 patients with active chronic hepatitis from south-east England was significantly higher than in 89 control subjects from the same region (22% and 17% respectively). No correlation could be detected with the age and sex of the patients or with the presence of a particular immunological abnormality but the frequency of HL-A 1 and HL-A 8 was much lower in the nine patients who were positive for HBAg than in the 45 HBAg-negative cases. These results provide further evidence of the importance of genetic factors in active chronic hepatitis. In contrast the frequency of HL-A 1 and HL-A 8 in primary biliary cirrhosis, both in 45 patients from south-east England and in 28 patients from western Scotland, was not significantly different from that found in control groups from the same regions.
来自英格兰东南部的54例活动性慢性肝炎患者中,抗原HL-A 1(48%)和HL-A 8(52%)的出现频率显著高于来自同一地区的89例对照者(分别为22%和17%)。未发现与患者的年龄、性别或特定免疫异常的存在有相关性,但在9例HBAg阳性患者中HL-A 1和HL-A 8的出现频率远低于45例HBAg阴性患者。这些结果进一步证明了遗传因素在活动性慢性肝炎中的重要性。相比之下,在来自英格兰东南部的45例原发性胆汁性肝硬化患者以及来自苏格兰西部的28例患者中,HL-A 1和HL-A 8的出现频率与来自同一地区的对照组相比无显著差异。
