Evaluation of a histocompatibility antigen related to hepatitis B virus in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in the western Brazilian Amazon

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Hepatocellular carcinoma is an infection of variable incidence that can be caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is endemic in the Amazon region. The diagnosis of HBV can be performed through the use of serum markers such as the hepatitis B surface antigen. The chronic HBV can cause mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, being the susceptibility of infection due to allele human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Thus, we evaluated the clinical, molecular and laboratory profile (histocompatibility complex) of HBV i… Show more

“…However, we think that the strengths of the study were that two HLA alleles in our study (HLA-A*11 and HLA-C*01) were associated with the mortality after controlling for SOFA or APACHE-II. In addition, the three HLA alleles associated with the mortality in our study (HLA-A*11, HLA-DQB1*04 and HLA-C*01), previously were associated with poor evolution in other infectious diseases (HLA-A*11 22,23 and HLA-DQB1*04 29,30 ) or with the risk of other infectious diseases (HLA-C*01 24 ).…”
