Objective To analyze the association between histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA-A/B,HLA-DRB/DQB) alleles and Eales disease, and to explore susceptible genes and protective genes associated with Eales disease in a population of Han from ZUN YI city in Guizhou province. Methods The subjects were analyzed by casecontrol study consisted of two groups such as normal control group and Eales disease group. DNA samples from 100 healthy people and 26 patients with Eales disease were detected by polymeriase chain reaction with sequencespecific primers (PCR-SSP). The alleles of HLA-A/B and HLA-DRB/DQB from Eales disease group were compared with those from control group by SPSS 13.0. Results The distribution frequency in Eales disease was HLAA01(P=0.041, OR=20.5), A02(P=0.000, OR=54.667, OR 95%CI:11.837-252.473), B55 (P=0.047, OR=4.524; OR 95%CI:1.200-17.047), HLA-DRB01(P=0.048, OR=5.879, OR95%CI:1.227-28.169). DQB05 (P=0.021, OR=2.769, OR95%CI=1.145-6.692) alleles, and obviously higher than control, but the frequency of HLAA11 (P=0.031, OR=0.383, OR95%CI=0.158-0.930) was obviously lower than control (P<0.05). Conclusion The results showed that the alleles of HLAA01, A02, B55, DRB01, DQB05 may associate with an antagonist effect in Eales disease, but HLAA11 may be a protective gene of this disease.
