No association between <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HLA</jats:styled-content>‐E*01:01/01:03</jats:italic> A &gt; G polymorphism and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HBV DNA</jats:styled-content> levels in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients was found. G/G genotype is less frequent in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients without significance. <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E is significantly enhanced in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients compared with healthy controls (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.0017). Stratification according to <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HBV DNA</jats:styled-content> levels showed that <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients with low <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HBV DNA</jats:styled-content> levels have higher <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E levels compared with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients with high <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HBV DNA</jats:styled-content> levels. <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients with G/G genotype have enhanced <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E levels compared with other genotypes (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.037). This significant difference is maintained only for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> women concerning G/G genotypes (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.042). Finally, we reported enhanced <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> patients with advanced stages of fibrosis (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.032). We demonstrate, for the first time, the association of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E to <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content>. Owing to the positive correlation of <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HLA</jats:styled-content>‐E*01:01/01:03</jats:italic> A &gt; G polymorphism and the association of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">sHLA</jats:styled-content>‐E to advanced fibrosis stages, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HLA</jats:styled-content>‐E could be a powerful predictor for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content> progression. Further investigations will be required to substantiate <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HLA</jats:styled-content>‐E role as a putative clinical biomarker of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CHB</jats:styled-content>.</jats:p> <scp>HLA</scp>‐E polymorphism and soluble <scp>HLA</scp>‐E plasma levels in chronic hepatitis B patients HLA
