Abstract

Close
- Oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are implicated in 99.7 % of cervical cancer cases but require the co-operation of other factors. To investigate potential genetic risk factors we have typed the HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 loci in 478 women diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in situ and in 608 age-matched controls. Quantitative measurements of HPV 16, HPV 18/45 and HPV 31 were obtained. The DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 alleles were found to increase the risk of HPV 16 infection. Carriers of DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 were also shown to have an increased risk of a higher viral load compared to non-carriers. The DRB1*1301 and DQB1*0603 alleles were found to protect from HPV 18/45 and 31 infections as well as resulting in a lower viral load in carriers compared to non-carriers. Women with a high HPV 16, 18/45 or 31 viral load were more prone to long-term infections and women with a low HPV 16 viral load were more prone to short-term infections. Carriers of DRB1*1501 and DQB1*0602 alleles were also shown to have an increased risk of long-term infections compared to short-term infections. We also tested if an HPV susceptibility locus found for epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) was also linked to HPV susceptibility in cervical cancer. We did not find any linkage to this locus in a set of 77 families, each with at least three cases diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in situ. Other potential risk factors tested were HPV 16 E6 variants together with a p53 codon 72 polymorphism and HLA class II alleles. We found an association between the E6 L83V variant and the HLA DR4-DQ3 haplotype, as well as an increased frequency of Arg homozygosity of p53 in women infected with the L83V variant. These results show that alleles at HLA class II loci represents risk factors for persistent HPV infection and thereby also contribute to the risk of development of cervical carcinoma in situ.
