Abstract

The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PDCD-1 gene are thought to be involved in transcriptional changes of PD-1, which  is an important ligand involved in T-cell depletion and therefore may play a role important role in the pathophysiology of chronic Hepatitis B. We designed a cross sectional study– recruited 298 patients with chronic HBV infection [133 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and165 patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC)] and 159 healthy individuals (HC). PD1.1 was genotyped by Sanger sequencing method. We analyzed the association between SNP rs36084323 and HBV infection susceptibility and HCC progression risk. The frequencies of genotype at SNP rs36084323 CC,CT, and TT were: 31.4%, 49.7% 18.9% in the HC group; 35.3%, 51.9%, and 12.8% in the CHB group, and 30.9%, 50.3%, and 18.8% in HCC group. There were no association between rs36084323 and HBV infection susceptibility and HCC development risk in the recessive model (TT vs. CC+CT): HBV infection vs. HC: OR=1.21, 95% CI=0.73-2.00, P>0.05 and HCC vs. CHB: OR=1.58, 95% CI=0.83-3.00, P>0.05. Result suggests that the SNP rs36084323 of the PDCD-1 gene did not associate with hepatitis B infection and HCC predisposition.
