Similar HLA association was found in patients with elephantiasis in Sri Lankans and Southern Indians. HLA-B15 was observed in 13/44 (30%) Sri Lankan patients with elephantiasis compared to 1/27 (4%) Sri Lankan controls (p = .0058; RR = 10.9) and in 5/8 (28%) Southern Indian elephantiasis compared to 10/101 (10%) Southern Indian controls (p = 0.04; RR = 3.5). In combining the data, the significance of the difference of the frequency of B15 between patients with elephantiasis and controls was even more marked (p = 0.00045; corrected p = 0.012; RR = 4.4).
在斯里兰卡人和南印度人的象皮肿患者中发现了类似的HLA关联。在44名患有象皮肿的斯里兰卡患者中,有13名(30%)观察到HLA - B15,而在27名斯里兰卡对照者中只有1名(4%)观察到(p = 0.0058;相对危险度 = 10.9);在8名患有象皮肿的南印度患者中有5名(28%)观察到,而在101名南印度对照者中有10名(10%)观察到(p = 0.04;相对危险度 = 3.5)。综合这些数据,象皮肿患者与对照者之间B15频率差异的显著性更加明显(p = 0.00045;校正p = 0.012;相对危险度 = 4.4)。
