Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) plays a critical role in regulating T-cell function during hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The present study investigated the relationships between the polymorphisms of the PD-1 gene and the susceptibility to chronic HBV infection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PD-1 gene at positions -606G/A (PD-1.1) and +8669 G/A (PD-1.6) were analyzed by bidirectional PCR amplification of specific alleles (Bi-PASA) in 198 chronic HBV patients and 280 controls. Although the genotype and allele frequencies of PD-1.1 were not different between chronic HBV patients and controls, the genotype and allele frequencies of PD-1.6 were significantly different. PD-1.6 GG genotype and the combination of genotypes with G allele were less frequent in HBV patients than in controls (p = 0.007 and p = 0.031, respectively). The allele G was also less frequent in patients than in controls (p = 0.006). Haplotype PD-1.1G/PD-1.6G was less frequent in patients than in controls (p = 0.001). Cirrhosis patients had a lower frequency of PD-1.6 G allele compared with controls (p = 0.007). Our findings, firstly reporting the association between PD-1 polymorphism and HBV infection, suggest that PD-1 gene may be one of the genes predisposing to chronic HBV infection and disease progression.
