Abstract

Infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive mothers are at a higher risk for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Host genetic background plays an important role in determining the strength of immune response to vaccination. We conducted this study to investigate the association between Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Mitogen-activated protein kinase eight (MAPK8) polymorphisms and low response to hepatitis B vaccines. A total of 753 infants of HBsAg positive and hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) negative mothers from the prevention of mother-to-infant transmission of HBV cohort were included. Five tag single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) (rs1799964, rs1800629, rs3093671, rs769177 and rs769178) in TNF and two tag SNPs (rs17780725 and rs3827680) in MAPK8 were genotyped using the MassARRAY platform. A higher percentage of breastfeeding (P = 0.013) and a higher level of Ab titers were observed in high responders (P < 0.001). The MAPK8 rs17780725 AA genotype increased the risk of low response to hepatitis B vaccines (OR = 3.176, 95% CI: 1.137-8.869). Additionally, subjects with the AA genotype may have a lower Ab titer than subjects with GA or GG genotypes (P = 0.051). Compared to infants who were breastfed, infants who were not breastfed had an increased risk of low response to hepatitis B vaccine (OR = 2.901, 95% CI:1.306-6.441). MAPK8 polymorphisms are associated with immune response to HBV vaccinations in infants of HBsAg(+)/HBeAg(-) mothers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,522,137
of 23,090,520 outputs
Outputs from BMC Infectious Diseases
#6,540
of 7,748 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#288,117
of 328,569 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Infectious Diseases
#115
of 140 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,090,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,748 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,569 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 140 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
