Polymorphism study of HLA-A, B, DRB1 alleles in patients with chronic renal failure, in Shandong Peninsula / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the association between HLA-A, B, DRB1 alleles and chronic renal failure (CRF) in Han population of Shandong Peninsula. 【Methods】 Sequence specific oligonucleotide probe-polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSO) was used to genotype 880 patients with CRF in the Han population of Shandong Peninsula. The allele frequencies of HLA-A, B and DRB1 were compared with 865 hematopoietic stem cell voluntary donors, and the association between HLA gene polymorphism and CRF was analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 33 HLA-A alleles, 76 HLA-B alleles and 39 HLA-DRB1 alleles were detected in the study group. DRB1*11∶01 (6.70% vs 4.45%) and DRB1*12∶02 (8.69% vs 5.90%) in CRF group were significantly higher than those in the control(Pc<0.05), and B*15∶11 (1.82% vs 3.64%) among CRF group was significantly lower compared with the control(Pc<0.05). The frequency of three loci haplotypes A*30∶01 -B*13∶02 -DRB1*07∶01 (16.61% vs 7.61%), A*33∶03 -B*58∶01 -DRB1*03∶01 (4.57% vs 1.62%) and A*02∶07 -B*46∶01 -DRB1*09∶01 (4.06% vs 1.09%) in CRF patients were significantly higher than that of the control(Pc<0.05), which were strongly correlated with CRF. 【Conclusion】 The data on the association of HLA-A, B, DRB1 alleles and haplotype polymorphisms with CRF in Shandong Peninsula has been obtained in this study. DRB1*11∶01 and DRB1*12∶02 may be the susceptibility risk factors for development of CRF, and B*15∶11 may be protective genes against development of CRF, and A*30∶01 -B*13∶02 -DRB1*07∶01, A*33∶03 -B*58∶01 -DRB1*03∶01 and A*02∶07 -B*46∶01 -DRB1*09∶01 may be the susceptible haplotypes in Han population of Shandong Peninsula.
