    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To analyze association of different HLA genotypes for predisposition to type-I autoimmune hepatitis in Western India. METHODS: This study was undertaken on patients of type-I autoimmune hepatitis (defined by international criteria by IAHG, 1999). HLA genotyping for class I and II was done in 20 patients of autoimmune hepatitis and 100 healthy controls. Statistics were done using Halden's modification of Woolfs formula. RESULT: Significant association of autoimmune hepatitis was found amongst class I antigens--HLA B27 [20 vs. 0 %] & HLA cw4 [40 vs. 15 %] and amongst class II antigens--DRBI*01XX [25 vs. 2%], DRB1*14XX [30 vs. 12%], DRB1*15XX [40 vs. 25%] and DRB1*07XX [20 vs. 9 %] at DRB1 locus. Stronger association was found with HLA B27, cw4 & HLA DRB1 *01XX. CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that predisposition to autoimmune hepatitis is different in Indian patients and not associated with HLA DRB1*03XX or *04XX, as seen in Western world.
