| Research Abstract |
Nucleotide sequence level typing of HLA-B, -DRB1, and -DPB1 alleles was performed on Japanese patients with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P). Two HLA-B alleles, B*1501 and B*5101, showed a significant positive association with CL/P. The increase of B*1501 was evident in female patients (OR = 3.6, pc = 0.005), whereas the increase of B*5101 was evident in male patients (OR = 3.7, pc < 0.002). One HLA-DRB1 allele, HLA-DRB1*0802 also showed an increase in CL/P patients. Conversely, HLA-B*4403 End DRBl*1302 were not observed in the patient group (pc = 0.004 and pc = 0.007, respectively). No HLA-DPB1 alleles showed significant association with CL/P. Thus, the present study indicates that HLA alleles, or closely linked loci, may be involved in the pathogenesis of CL/P.
