الملخص EN

The current study were included one hundred and twenty blood sample with draw form patients with allergic asthma , they were selected randomly from the Allergy and Asthma Center in Basra cityand there were eighty sample with draw from healthy individual as control .

All samples from patients and controls were tested by direct ELISA for total IgE and Polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect a genetic relationship between allergic asthma and human leukocyte antigen classII allele(HLA- DQA1 and HLA- DRB1 alleles).Result of this study showed that the total IgE > 100 IU / ml had higher rate in asthma patients at (70.8%).with significant difference( p < 0.05) between total IgE < 100 IU / ml and controls.

The study also included detection of some human leukocyte antigens(HLAclassII) allelesHLA DRB1*0101 / 2 /4, HLA DQA1*0401, HLA DQA1*0101 / 4 by the use of PCR analysis to determine their impact on the asthma allergy.

The results of this analysis revealed the HLA DQA1*0401 had higher rate at(89.2 %) inasthma patients ,also this allele appeared in 100% of asthma patientswho had total IgE 100 IU / ml .

All studied HLA class II alleles were significantly (P<0.05) distributed in the study groups .
