In order to assess the association between human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a total of 10 familial and 10 sporadic NPC patients and 171 unrelated healthy controls were studied. HLA typing was performed using commercial trays which defined 30 specificities of HLA-A, B and C loci and 10 specificities of HLA-D locus according to the method of Tiwari and Terasaki. HLA-A2, B16 and DR1 were found to be higher among patients with NPC than unrelated healthy controls with an odds ratio (OR) and a 95% confidence interval of 5.91 (2.1-16.6), 6.00 (2.0-18.0) and 6.89 (1.3-37.5), respectively. Further analysis showed that A2(+) B16(+) haplotype was significantly associated with a much higher risk of NPC (OR = 15.5) as compared with A2(-) B16(-) haplotype. No difference in frequency distributions of HLA-A, B, C and D antigens was observed between familial and sporadic NPC patients.
