Abstract: Objective To analyze the correlation of HLA-A,-B,-C,-DRB1,-DQB1 allele polymorphisms to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis B. Methods 56 patients with HCC and underlying hepatitis B viral infection and 97 healthy persons were recruited in this study. Blood HLA-A,-B,-C,-DRB1,-DQB1 genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing. Results The frequencies of HLA-A*02:03,A*02:07,HLA-B*46:01,HLA-DRB1*14:54,DRB1*12:02,HLA-DQB1*05:03 were significantly higher in patients with HCC than in the control,and they might be the risk factors for chronic hepatitis B patients developing HCC. While the frequencies of HLA-A*30:01 and HLA-B*13:02 were significantly lower in HCC group than in the control group. Conclusion In GuangDong province population,blood HLA-A*02:03,A*02:07,HLA-B*46:01,HL-DRB1*14:54,DRB1*12:02,HLA-DQB1*05:03 are positively correlated with the development of HCC.
