Abstract: | To probe into the genetic background and immunopathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), HLA-DRB1 gene polymorphism in 68 patients with DCM and 175 normal control subjects were analyzed by using the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer (PCR/SSP) techniques. It was found that the frequencies of HLA-DRB1 15 and HLA-DRB1 03 alleles were significantly lower in DCM patients than those in normal controls (14. 71 % vs 29. 71 % and 4. 41 % vs 15. 43 %, respectively), the relative risks (RR) in the DCM patients being 0. 41 and 0. 25, respectively, all P<0. 05. However, the frequencied of HLA-DRB1 11 and HLA-DRB1. 12 alleles were significantly higher in the DCM patients than in controls (29. 4 % vs 12. 00 % and 36. 76 % vs 12. 57 %, respectively) with the RR in the DCM patients being 3. 06 and 4. 04, respectively, all P<0. 01. These findings further demonstrated that-immunogenetics might play a predominant pathogenetic role in partial DCM patients. |
