Clinical outcomes of dengue infection such as dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) could be attributed to host genetic factors. The transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) genes are polymorphic genes located in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region and are essentially involved in class I antigen presentation. Therefore, these genes might grant susceptibility to severe dengue infection. Hence, the aim of the study was to type the TAP1 gene (using amplification refraction mutation system [ARMS] polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) and HPA1 and HPA2 gene polymorphism (by PCR-sequence specific primers) in different clinical spectrums of dengue infection. The study included 100 controls and 91 DF, 75 DHF, and 32 DSS patients. The results revealed that the frequencies of valine at TAP1 333 and HPA 1b at HPA1 were increased among DHF and DSS, respectively, in comparison to controls (p <0.05). The frequency of genotype TAP1 333 ILE/VAL (61.3%) was significantly higher in DHF compared with control (37%, p = 0.005) or DF (38.9%, p = 0.007) patients. A significantly greater proportion of DHF patients demonstrated HPA1a/1a and HPA 2a/2b genotypes than DF patients. DSS patients were more likely to be heterozygous at HPA1 than DHF (OR = 4.75, p = 0.003). A positive correlation existed between TAP1 333 and HPA1 in DHF (p = 0.017, r = 0.229). This first report on TAP and HPA gene polymorphism in dengue suggested that the heterozygous pattern at the TAP1 333 locus and HPA1a/1a and HPA2a/2b genotypes confer susceptibility to DHF and the HPA1a/1b genotype was determined to be a genetic risk factor for DSS.
