Abstract:Objective To explore the genetic correlations between the susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) and single nucleotide polymorphisms of IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 so as to identify the influencing factors of HBV susceptibility at the genetic level in Tibetan population in Qinghai area. Methods We collected 258 blood samples from Tibetan patients infected with HBV in the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University and the Fourth People’s Hospital of Qinghai Province to serve as the case group. And 126 blood samples from healthy individuals in the Physical Examination Center were collected as the control group. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood by DNA extraction kit. The bases and genotypes of gene polymorphism loci of IFN-γ (+874A/T, +2 109C/T), TNF-α (-308) and IL-10 (-592, -1,082) were detected by flight mass spectrometry, and their correlations with the susceptibility to hepatitis B virus were analyzed. Results No statistically significant differences were found in the frequency distribution of bases and genotypes of gene polymorphism loci of TNF-α (-308) and IL-10 (-592, -1 082) between the case group (92.4%, 7.6%; 24%, 52%, 24%; 1.2%, 23.2%, 75.6%) and the control group (92.5%, 7.5%; 23.9%, 46.3%, 29.8%; 4.5%, 19.4%, 76.1%; all P>0.05). Although the frequency distribution of bases and genotypes of IFN-γ +2109C/T and IFN-γ +874A/T polymorphism loci in the control group (14.3%, 43.7%, 42%; 2.4%, 19.8%, 77.8%) and the case group (10.5%, 47.3%, 42.2%; 3.1%, 30.6%, 66.3%) showed no statistically significant differences (allP>0.05), but the frequency distribution of base A of IFN- γ+874A/T loci was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (18.4% vs.12.3%) and base T was significantly higher in the control group than in the case group (87.7%vs.81.6%) (both P<0.05).Conclusions For the Tibetan population in Qinghai Province, the allele T of IFN-γ+874A/T may be the protective factor of HBV infection, while the allele A is the predisposing factor of HBV infection.
