Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 1063A/G (Asp299Gly) and 1363C/T (Thr399Ile) in the gene encoding Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) increase susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis. However, limited information is available on the prevalence of these SNPs in Japan. Therefore, we surveyed these TLR4 SNPs by using formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks obtained from autopsies of patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Tissue samples of approximately 30% patients were included in genomic analysis. However, none of these samples showed the presence of TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms. Thus, the present study provided information on the prevalence of TLR4 SNPs in Japanese patients with invasive aspergillosis and indicated that these SNPs played a minor role in increasing the susceptibility of Japanese individuals to invasive aspergillosis.
