Objective To study the correlation between polymorphisms of HLA-DRB1
-DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis in Tibetan population of China. Methods HLA-DRB1
-DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles in 176 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 189 normal controls were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer (PCR/SSP) technique. Results The frequencies of HLA-DRB1*0901
-DQA1*0101 and -DQB1*0301 alleles were significantly higher in pulmonary tuberculosis patients than in normal controls (17.33% vs 7.94%
while the frequencies of HLA-DRB1*1301/1302 and -DQA1*0501 alleles were significantly lower in pulmonary tuberculosis patients than in normal controls (0.85% vs 6.08%
-DQA1*0101 and -DQB1*0301 alleles are closely related with the susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis and may be the susceptible genes against pulmonary tuberculosis. HLA-DRB1*1301/1302 and -DQA1*0501 alleles are closely related with the protection of pulmonary tuberculosis and may be the protective genes against pulmonary tuberculosis.
