چکیده

This study investigated, through cohort analysis, whether HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 variability is related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection prevalence and persistence. HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genes were typed in 620 samples from the Ludwig-McGill cohort. HPV positivity was tested in specimens collected every 4 months during the first year of follow-up. Persistent and long-term infections were defined as at least 2 or 3 consecutive positive results for the same HPV type, respectively. The magnitudes of associations were estimated by unconditional logistic regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders. The DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 haplotype was associated with a 2-fold reduction in risk for transient and persistent HPV infections. DRB1*1102-DQB1*0301 showed a lower-risk effect only for persistence. DRB1*1601-DQB1*0502 and DRB1*0807-DQB1*0402 were associated with a 7-fold and a 3-fold increase, respectively, in risk for persistence. The results suggest that HLA class II polymorphisms are involved in clearance and maintenance of HPV infection.

بررسی فراوانی آلل‌های HLA-DRB1, DQB در بیماران مبتلا به سل قومیت سیستانی در مقایسه با افراد کنترل سالم

Background: HLA disease association was investigated in several autoimmune, cancer and infectious diseases. The outcome of tuberculosis (TB) infection may be influenced by host genetic factors like MMP-1, MCP-1, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α, IFN-γ and human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Given the paucity of information with regard to the association between the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and TB infection...

HLA Class I and Class II Genes Distribution of the Sistanis in Iran

Background: The high polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes can be used as an identity of individuals to compare with other populations. This extreme polymorphism in the HLA system is accountable for the differences in alleles and haplotypes among ethnic groups, populations, and the inhabitants of many regions. Objective: To define the frequency of HLA alleles and haplotypes am...

Background: Different studies have demonstrated that a small proportion of healthy individuals receiving the hepatitis B (HB) vaccine do not produce protective levels of anti-HB antibody, a phenomenon which could be linked to certain human leukocyte an-tigen (HLA) class-II alleles or haplotypes. Objectives: The present study was under-taken to determine the frequency of HLA class-II alleles in ...

Association between human leukocyte antigen polymorphism and human papillomavirus 16-positive vulval intraepithelial neoplasia in British women.

Polymorphisms in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes have been implicated in the risk for developing human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical neoplasia. By comparison with local cadaver controls typed for HLA class I (n = 946) and II (n = 144) antigens, HPV-16-positive high grade vulval intraepithelial neoplasia patients (n = 42) showed significantly different frequencies of HLA-A2 [odds ...
