Abstract

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 gene are associated with chronic inflammatory and immunological diseases. Host genetic factors have a key role in the development of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the HLA-DQB1 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to CHB. PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang databases were searched for the studies that reported the association of the HLA-DQB1 polymorphisms with CHB between January 1, 1966 and July 30, 2015. HLA-DQB1 polymorphism-specific odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were pooled and calculated in the fixed effects model using the Mantel-Haenszel method. Q-test and I2 test were performed to examine the heterogeneity. Begg's funnel test and Egger's test were conducted to assess publication bias. All the statistical tests were two-tailed. Subsequent to searching the databases and screening according to the inclusion criteria, 7 case-control studies were available in the present meta-analysis, including 815 CHB patients and 731 control subjects for the HLA-DQB1 polymorphisms. In conclusion, the statistically significant pooled OR of the HLA-DQB1 polymorphisms were obtained for the HLA-DQB1 loci (*0201, case vs. control: I2=36.5%; P-value of heterogeneity=0.15; OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.02-1.64; P=0.0301; *0301, case vs. control: I2=0%; P-value of heterogeneity=0.899; OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.12-1.69; P=0.002; *0502, case vs. control: I2=24.9%; P-value of heterogeneity=0.239; OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.02-2.20; P=0.04), which were associated with an increased risk of CHB. Similar significant results were observed and acquired in the following HLA-DQB1 loci (*0303, case vs. control: I2=0%; P-value of heterogeneity=0.986; OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.62-0.95; P=0.017; *0604, case vs. control: I2=0%; P-value of heterogeneity=0.594; OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.20-0.74; P=0.003), which were associated with a decreased risk of CHB. No significant association was observed for the other HLA-DQB1 family loci. The present meta-analysis demonstrated that the HLA-DQB1 loci (*0201, *0301 and *0502) polymorphisms were significantly associated with an increased risk of CHB. However, HLA-DQB1 loci polymorphisms (*0303 and *0604) were associated with a decreased risk of CHB. These results support the hypothesis that polymorphisms of the HLA-DQB1 allele families may affect the susceptibility or resistance to CHB.
