Publisher Description

Resumen La asociacion entre los antigenos de HLA y el carcinoma de celulas escamosas de cervix ha sido descrito en varias poblaciones. Para verificar si la diversidad de HLA-DRS1 y HLA-DQB1 esta relacionada con carcinoma de cervix en mujeres puertorriquenas, se tipificaron para HLA 40 casos y 59 controles. Se encontro una asociacion positiva con DRB1*16 (POR=2.89) y DRB1*11 (POR=1.74) y una asociacion negativa con DRB1*01 (POR=0.52), DRB1*04 (POR=0.60), DRB1*14 (POR=0.33), DRB1*15 (POR=0.65), DQB1*04 (POR=0.33), DQB1*05 (POR=0.64) y DQB1*06 (POR=0.65). Estos resultados sugieren que el polimorfismo de HLA Clase II estan envueltos en la susceptibilidad genetica al carcinoma de cervix en mujeres puertorriquenas, pero deben confirmarse con estudios con mas casos para descartar la posibilidad de falsos positivos debido al tamano de la muestra.
