Abstract
Background: The pandemic 2009 swine flu is a highly infectious respiratory disorder caused by H1N1 influenza A viruses. A recent study reported that knockout of the prion protein gene (PRNP) induced susceptibility and lethality in influenza A virus-infected mice. Objective: Thus, we examined the association between genetic variations of the PRNP gene and susceptibility to pandemic 2009 swine flu. Results: We did not find an association between PRNP polymorphisms and susceptibility to pandemic 2009 swine flu. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this was the first evaluation of the association between PRNP polymorphisms and vulnerability to pandemic 2009 swine flu.
