HLA class II genotype prevalence in patients with chronic or spontaneously resolved HCV infection by ethnic group. The bar graphs show the relative prevalence of HLA class II genotypes within the DQB1, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, and DRB5 loci in HCV-recovered (white bars) and chronic (black bars) patients. Top panel refers to all patients (n = 93), middle panel to white patients (n = 41), and bottom panel to black patients (n = 52). Red asterisks in the middle panel refer to HLA types that were significantly associated with HCV clearance: DQB1*03 (P = 0.031), DRB1*11 (P = 0.019), and DRB3*02 (P = 0.005). P-values were calculated using chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test. Because DRB3*02 was not previously associated with HCV clearance, a Bonferroni-type correction was applied for DRB3*02 with continued statistical significance (Pc = 0.015).
