PG - 259-67 AB - Analysis of correlation between tuberculosis (TB) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in populations from Asia and Latin America has shown conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of HLA-DRB1-DQB1 two-locus haplotypes of 61 TB patients and 125 healthy volunteers in the same ethnic group in Poland. DRB1 and DQB1 alleles were determined by PCR-SSP "low-resolution" and "high-resolution" methods. Our study showed that DRB1*1601 and DQB1*0502 alleles were more frequent, whereas DQB1*0201 was rarer in TB than in controls. DRB1*16-DQB1*05, DRB1*04-DQB1*03 and DRB1*1601-DQB1*0502 haplotype were more common, and DRB1*11-DQB1*03 less frequent in TB in comparison to controls. Positive linkage disequilibrium (LD) for DRB1*01-DQB1*05, DRB1*03-DQB1*02, DRB1*11-DQB1*03, DRB1*13-DQB1*06 and DRB1*15-DQB1*06 was found in controls. A trend towards the positive LD for DRB1*01-DQB1*05, DRB1*03-DQB1*02, DRB1*11-DQB1*03, DRB1*15-DQB1*06 and DRB1*16-DQB1*05 was shown in TB. The trend towards the positive LD for DRB1*16-DQB1*05 haplotype in TB patients was not observed in the control group. It seems likely that the presence of DRB1*1601, DQB1*0502 alleles and DRB1*1601-DQB1*0502, DRB1*04-DQB1*03, DRB1*14-DQB1*05 haplotypes may be related to a higher risk of developing TB, whereas low frequency of DQB1*0201 and DRB1*11-DQB1*03 haplotype may be linked to the resistance to TB.
