Core Tip	Conventional genotyping studies have shown that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing was one of the most important host factors with respect to outcomes of hepatitis B and C virus infections. However, the specific HLA locus associated with the outcomes remains unclear. Recently a genome-wide association study for human genotyping demonstrated single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the outcomes of hepatitis virus infection. Now it has been confirmed that several single nucleotide polymorphisms in both HLA-DP loci were associated with persistent hepatitis B virus infection in Asian populations.
