  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

HLA was studied in 35 patients with gliomas (20 anaplastic gliomas, 11 astrocytomas, 2 ependy-momas, 2 oligodendrogliomas) and 38 volunteers who served as controls, by using the microdroplet lymphocyte cytotoxicity test. Phenotype frequency (PF), gene frequency (GF) and relative risk (RR) of each HLA antigen were studied statistically with the χ2-test, where corrected P (CP)<0.05 was considered significant.

Concerning HLA-B antigens, either Bw 61 or Bw 62 was found in 45.7% of the patients and the both in 14.3%. HLA-Bw 61 had a tendency to increase in the patients (PF=0.46, GF=0.27, RR=7.16, χ2=9.64, P<0.002, CP<0.064). Con-trary to HLA-B antigens, HLA-DRw 6 was ab-sent in the patient (χ2=8.3379, P<0.004, CP<0.04). No relation between HLA and histological types was found.

HLA has its genetic locus on the short bra-chium of the 6th chromosome and complement C2, C4, properdin, etc are considered to link HLA. Immunoregulatory genes (Ir genes), immunosup-pressive genes (Is genes), disease susceptibility genes and disease resistant genes are also consi-dered to link HLA, especially HLA-B, D loci. Although diseases are multifactorial, according to our report, the incidence of HLA-Bw 61 is higher, while that of HLA-DRw 6 is lower in patients with glioma. These phenomena seem very interest-ing considering the previous evidence that HLA has a close relation between disease susceptibility and immunological competence.

HLA is only a genetic marker of diseases, but if any relations between HLA and diseases can be found, it may be very useful for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation to identify the HLA of patients. Further investigation is necessary.
