Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variations may affect immune response to human papillomavirus infection and subsequent cervical neoplasia risk. We investigated the frequency and relationship between HLA-A-B and HLA-A-B-DR haplotypes among women with cervical cancer/high-grade lesions (n = 365) and cytologically normal population controls (n = 681) within three cervical neoplasia studies in the US and Costa Rica. Notable differences in haplotype frequencies were observed; the HLA-A*01-B*08 haplotype occurred in > 5% of US Caucasians but in < 1% of Costa Ricans. The most prevalent HLA-A*24-B*40-DR*04 haplotype in Costa Rica (5%) was found in < 1% of US Caucasians. No HLA haplotype was significantly associated with cervical neoplasia, suggesting that individual allele associations reported to date (e.g. HLA-DR*13) are not likely explained by underlying haplotypes.
