“…On the other hand, the association between the HLA-A30 and A31 alleles and breast cancer is being described for the first time in this study. Previously, HLA-A31 was associated with pancreas and larynx cancer [26,27], whereas, HLA-A30 was associated only with pancreas cancer [26].…”

“…The mechanisms behind such association are subjected to different speculations [6].Concerning tumours, the association of HLA alleles with solid tumours, such as nasopharyngeal, colorectal, or thyroid carcinoma has been described, reviewed by [7]. HLA-B18 was significantly increased in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma [8], and in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer [9]. There was also a positive association between glioma and HLA-B27 and HLA-Cw6 alleles [1], while HLA-A2 allele was positively associated with meningioma [10].…”

“…Όσον αφορά το HLA-Cw7 αντιγόνο η συχνότητά του ανευρέθη αυξημένη σε Έλληνες ασθενείς με καρκίνο του παγκρέατος (Kouerinis IA, 2004). Επίσης έχει βρεθεί θετική συσχέτιση (επιδεκτικότητα στη νόσο) του HLA-Cw7 αντιγόνου με πολλαπλά βασικοκυτταρικά καρκινώματα (Rompel R, 1995), αμφοτερόπλευρο καρκίνο του μαστού (Yokoe T, 1990) και διαφοροποιημένο καρκίνο του θυροειδούς με αυξημένη αγγειακή και λεμφική συμμετοχή (Ríos A, 2004).…”
