Human platelet antigen-3 polymorphism as a risk factor for rheumatological manifestations in hepatitis C

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and rheumatic disorders. Although the human platelet antigens (HPA) polymorphism are associated with HCV persistence, they have not been investigated in rheumatological manifestations (RM). This study ...

Introduction of molecular genotypingof plateles antigens

Introducción: Los antígenos plaquetarios humanos (HPA) se expresan en 6 glucoproteínas plaquetarias diferentes. Se ha descrito que estos antígenos pueden estimular la producción de aloanticuerpos una vez expuestos a plaquetas humanas con diferentes HPA, lo que provoca complicaciones clínicas como l...

Allele and haplotype frequencies of human platelet and leukocyte antigens in platelet donors

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective To described the allele and haplotype frequencies of human leukocyte antigen genes at the -A, -B loci and human platelet antigen genes for human platelet antigen systems 1 to 9, 11 and 15 in blood. Methods We included 867 healthy unrelated volunteer donors who donated platelets bet...

HPA-1a/1b could be considered a molecular predictor of poor prognosis in chronic hepatitis C

Abstract INTRODUCTION: HPA polymorphism has been associated with HCV presence and fibrosis progression in chronic hepatitis C. However, it is unknown if there is an association between HPA-1 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate HPA-1 polymorphism in t...
