Association of HLA-DPA1 variant rs3077 and HLA-DPB1 variant rs9277535 with HBV infection.

*controls include either healthy subjects with negative serological HBV markers (vs. HBV patients) or inactive HBsAg carriers in the subgroup analysis of patients with HBV infection (vs. active CHB patients);**to sustain the conventional gene description from the 5′ end to the 3′ end we changed the SNP denomination in comparison to previous publications. That is, the rs3077T/C alleles in our study correspond to the A/G alleles, respectively, in previously published studies [9], [11].
