Table 1. Association of HLA-DPA1 variant rs3077 and HLA-DPB1 variant rs9277535 with HBV infection.

rs3077	Cases, n (%)			Controls, n (%)*			Recessive model		Dominant model
Phenotype**	TT	TC	CC	TT	TC	CC	OR (95% CI)	p	OR (95% CI)	p
HBV infection vs. healthy controls	125	55	21	148	69	5	5.1 (1.9–13.7)	0.00093	1.2 (0.8–1.8)	0.67
	0.62	0.27	0.10	0.67	0.31	0.02
CHB infection vs. inactive HBsAg carriers (controls)	31	8	7	30	15	3	2.7 (0.6–11.1)	0.31	0.8 (0.3–1.9)	1
	0.67	0.17	0.15	0.63	0.31	0.06

^*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].
