Background: Although the pathogenesis of toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced occupational asthma (TDI-OA) is incompletely understood, several studies have suggested immunologic mechanisms, including specific IgE responses. A few studies have suggested human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations with TDI-induced asthma in Western countries, but this is the first investigation of associations between HLA class I and II alleles and TDI-induced asthma patients in Asia, using high-resolution analysis. Methods: Patients with TDI-OA (n=84), asymptomatic exposed controls (AECs, n=47) and unexposed normal controls (NCs, n=127) were enrolled. HLA class I and II genotyping was performed by the direct DNA sequencing analysis. Specific serum IgE antibodies to the vapor type TDI-albumin conjugate were measured by ELISA. Results: There was no significant association between the allele frequencies and the phenotype of TDI-OA. However, the frequency of the HLA DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602-DPB1 *0501 haplotype was significantly higher in TDI-OA patients (19%) than in AEC (2.1%, p=0.007, OR 4.429, CI 1.497-13.103) or NC (3.1%, p
