PG - 459-66 LID - 10.1111/j.1399-0012.2009.01094.x [doi] AB - Heat shock protein 70-hom (HSP70-hom) plays an important role in protein folding and immune responses. Therefore, HSP70-hom gene polymorphisms may act as important factors in predicting the prognosis of patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To evaluate the role of HSP70-hom gene polymorphisms in the prognosis of patients receiving sibling human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched allogeneic HSCT, the HSP70-hom polymorphisms, T2437C and G2763A, were genotyped in 147 patients receiving sibling HLA-matched allogeneic HSCT. Individual diplotypes were estimated from genotype data of the two HSP70-hom polymorphisms using the expectation maximization algorithm. Patients with the 2763GG or GA genotype showed longer overall survival compared with those with the 2763AA genotype, and patients with a TG haplotype (TG/TA, TG/TG or TG/CG) also showed longer overall survival compared with those with a non-TG haplotype (TA/TA or TA/CG) (both G2763A genotype and diplotype, p<0.01). Moreover, the 2437TT genotype was found to be protective for treatment-related death compared with the 2437TC genotype, and a TG haplotype was found to be very protective for treatment-related death compared with a non-TG haplotype (T2437C genotype, p=0.04; and diplotype, p=0.02). Therefore, our results suggest that HSP70-hom polymorphisms play an important role in the prognosis of patients receiving sibling HLA-matched allogeneic HSCT. CI - (c) 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
