AIM: To investigate the association between three tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in interferon regulatory factors (IRF3 ) and the genetic susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. METHODS: We performed a case-control study of 985 Chinese cases of chronic HBV infection and 294 selflimiting HBV-infected individuals as controls. Three tagSNPs in IRF3 (rs10415576, rs2304204, rs2304206) were genotyped with the Multiplex SNaPshot technique. The genotype and allele frequencies were calculatedand analyzed. RESULTS: The three SNPs showed no significant genotype/ allele associations with chronic HBV infection. Overall allele P values were: rs10415576, P = 0.0908, odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.1798 (0.9740-1.4291); rs2304204, P = 0.5959, OR (95% CI) = 1.0597 (0.8552-1.3133); rs2304206, P = 0.8372, OR (95% CI) = 1.0250 (0.8097-1.2976). Overall genotype P values were: rs10415576, P = 0.2106; rs2304204, P = 0.8458; rs2304206, P = 0.8315. There were no statistically significant differences between patients with chronic HBV infection and controls. Haplotypes generated by these three SNPs were also not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The three tagSNPs of IRF3 are not associated with HBV infection in the Han Chinese population.
