Aim. To investigate whether HLA class I polymorphisms could influence the clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in Qidong Han population.Methods. We genotyped HLA-A, -B, and -C loci of 448 individuals with HBV persistent infection and 140 persons with spontaneous clearance of HBsAg by polymerase chain reaction with sequencing based typing (PCR/SBT). All the individuals were unrelated males enrolled from Qidong Han population and were followed up for 10 years.Results. The frequency ofHLA-A*33:03:01Gwas increased in persistent HBV infection group (Pvalue is 0.028), while frequency ofHLA-B*13:01:01Gwas increased in HBsAg clearance group (Pvalue is 0.0004).Conclusion. These findings suggested that the host HLA class I polymorphism is an important factor in determining the outcomes of HBV infection.
