HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 polymorphism defined by sequence-based typing of the Han population in Northern China

DNA typing for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B and -DRB1 was performed using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing method on 618 randomly selected healthy individuals of the Han population in Northern China. Allele frequencies and haplotypes were statistically analyzed. A total of 84 HLA-A alleles, 143 B alleles, and 122 DRB1 alleles were detected, and 853 A-B-DRB1 haplotypes, 473 A-B haplotypes, and 551 B-DRB1 haplotypes were statistically inferred. Statistical analysis of three-locus haplotypes showed that A*0207-B*4601-DRB1*0901 (3.06%) was the most predominant. Gene frequencies and haplotypic associations within HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 loci were determined at a high-resolution (four digit) allelic level and should provide useful information in anthropology, bone marrow donor registry, legal medicine, and disease association studies.     

Distribution of HLA-A, -B, -Cw, and -DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in an isolated Han population in Southwest China

In this study, polymorphisms of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I (A, B, and Cw) and class II (DRB1) loci were analyzed in an isolated Han population living in Fengyandong in the Yunnan province of Southwest China (FYDH) using a high-resolution polymerase chain reaction–Luminex typing method. A total of 13 A, 26 B, 15 Cw, and 23 DRB1 alleles of HLA were found in FYDH. The frequencies of A*1101, A*0207, A*2402, B*4601, B*1502, Cw*0102, Cw*0801, DRB1*0901, and DRB1*1202 were >10%. The following haplotypes were common with frequencies >5%: three A-B, four Cw-B, two B-DRB1, two A-B-DRB1, three A-B-Cw, two B-Cw-DRB1, and two A-B-Cw-DRB1 phylogenetic tree and multidimensional scaling analysis based on HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 allele frequencies of 18 Han populations suggested that FYDH was an isolated Han population, but the analytic result also provided a suggestion that FYDH was genetically related to Chinese Southern Han. According to the characteristics of the HLA allele and haplotype distributions and significantly reduced allelic and haplotypic diversity in FYDH, we deduced that genetic drift and/or selection and subsequent geographic isolation had influenced the distribution characteristics of the HLA gene in FYDH. In addition, significantly reduced allelic and haplotypic diversity in FYDH makes it an ideal homogenous population and very useful model for future investigations of issues related to immunogenetic diseases in the Han population.     

Association of HLA class II (-DRB1,-DQB1,-DPB1) alleles and haplotypes on susceptibility to aplastic anemia in northern Chinese Han

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes, playing key roles in mediating the immune response, especially HLA class II alleles were suggested to play a role in the activation of autoreactive T-cells in aplastic anemia (AA). Previous studies in different ethnic groups have indicated that some of HLA-A,-B,-DRB1 alleles had a protective or susceptive association with the prevalence, pathogenesis and development of AA. HLA class II genes, especially HLA-DQB1 and -DPB1 alleles or haplotypes at high-resolution level associated with AA have not been fully identified in northern Chinese Han populations. The aim of this study was to identify association of the variations in HLA class II region with AA in northern Chinese Han population. A recent case-control study, including 96 AA patients and 824 healthy controls was performed. The high-resolution HLA genotyping was conducted by PCR-SBT, -SSO and NGS-ION S5^TM platform. Based on genotypic data of the three loci, haplotype estimation was carried out. HLA-DRB1*15:01 (Pc = 2.87 × 10^-3; OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.45–3.07) and HLA-DQB1*06:02 (Pc = 1.86 × 10^-2; OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.32–3.06) were the risk and predisposition alleles to AA in northern Chinese Han after considering multiple testing. Moreover, the HLA-DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02 (Pc = 4.90 × 10^-3; OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.37–3.19) and HLA-DRB1*14:05-DQB1*05:03 (Pc = 2.65 × 10^-2; OR = 2.82, 95%CI = 1.45–5.50) haplotypes had direct strong relevance to AA and were the susceptible haplotypes. HLA-DPB1 alleles and 23 polymorphic amino acid residues spanning exon 2 ~ 4 of DPβ1 molecules have showed no statistically significant associations between AA and controls. The present findings establish a novel link between inherited HLA-DRB1,-DQB1,-DPB1 risk alleles and haplotypes in northern Chinese Han with AA, and open new avenues for development of targeted therapies to prevent or redirect immunopathology in AA.     

HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 allele and haplotype frequencies in a population of 432 healthy unrelated individuals from Albania

This paper reports the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 allele and haplotype polymorphism in a population of 432 healthy individuals from Albania. First-field HLA genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific priming and/or oligonucleotide methods. The data were analyzed statistically using gene counting and Arlequin software packages. No deviation from Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium was detected at any of the loci studied. The HLA genotypic data of the population sample reported here are available publicly in the Allele Frequencies Net Database and they can serve as a reference database for further HLA-based population genetics studies including the Albanian population.     

HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies distinguish Eastern European Americans from the general European American population

Sequence-based typing was used to identify human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 alleles from 558 consecutively recruited US volunteers with Eastern European ancestry for an unrelated hematopoietic stem cell registry. Four of 31 HLA-A alleles, 29 HLA-C alleles, 59 HLA-B alleles, and 42 HLA-DRB1 alleles identified (A*0325, B*440204, Cw*0332, and *0732N) are novel. The HLA-A*02010101g allele was observed at a frequency of 0.28. Two-, three-, and four-locus haplotypes were estimated using the expectation-maximization algorithm. The highest frequency extended haplotypes (A*010101g–Cw*070101g–B*0801g–DRB1*0301 and A*03010101g–Cw*0702–B*0702–DRB1*1501) were observed at frequencies of 0.04 and 0.03, respectively. Linkage disequilibrium values (     ) of the constituent two-locus haplotypes were highly significant for both extended haplotypes ( P values were less than 8 × 10⁻¹⁰) but were consistently higher for the more frequent haplotype. Balancing selection was inferred to be acting on all the four loci, with the strongest evidence of balancing selection observed for the HLA-C locus. Comparisons of the A–C–B haplotypes and DRB1 frequencies in this population with those for African, European, and western Asian populations showed high degrees of identity with Czech, Polish, and Slovenian populations and significant differences from the general European American population.     

Distributions of HLA class I alleles and haplotypes in Northern Han Chinese

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I allelic genotypes were determined in 105 unrelated Han ethnic individuals inhabiting the northern China area. A total of 19 HLA-A alleles, 49 HLA-B alleles and 24 HLA-Cw alleles were detected. Through the analyses of two and three loci haplotypes of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C loci, 11 HLA-A-B-Cw haplotypes, 19 HLA-A-B haplotypes, 18 HLA-A-Cw haplotypes, and 24 HLA-B-Cw haplotypes with the frequencies of higher than 0.01 were revealed. The Nei's genetic distance (GD) was estimated, and the NJ dendrogram showed that Northern Han had a higher GD to Southern Han (0.233) than those to the Korean (0.138) or other Northern ethnic groups, suggesting that Northern Han had more mixed blood with the ethnic groups originally in Northeast Asia. Our results provide useful information on the further study of evolution and relationships of Chinese ethnic groups and disease association in terms of HLA class I genes.     

Common and well-documented (CWD) alleles of human leukocyte antigen-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 loci for the Chinese Han population do not quite correlate with the ASHI CWD alleles

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA), which is extremely polymorphic, plays an important role in stem cell transplantation. The Chinese Han comprise a large population of approximately 1.3 billion with diverse HLA alleles that need to be characterized. Data from 3,296 independent, unrelated Chinese Han individuals (1,457 recipients and 1,839 donors) were provided by the China Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) for donor-recipient confirmatory typing. Sequence-based typing, sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP)/High Definition-SSOP, and sequence-specific primer methods were used to obtain 4-digit alleles. A total of 49, 86, 50, 63, and 24 HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 alleles were observed. Following American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) common and well-documented (CWD) criteria, CWD alleles for Chinese Han in our laboratory test and other laboratory reports do not quite correlate with the ASHI CWD alleles: A*11:53, A*02:34, A*02:53N, B*27:24, B*46:02, B*55:12, C*01:06, C*03:17, C*06:06, C*07:66, C*07:67, C*08:22, DRB1*12:10, DQB1*03:13, and DQB1*06:05 are CWD, but are not included in the ASHI CWD list. A series of alleles are well-documented alleles and are listed in the ASHI CWD list. Conversely, A*26:03, B*51:03, C*12:05, C*15:09, C*15:11, C*17:03, DRB1*11:07, DRB1*11:11, DRB1*13:05, DRB1*13:13, DRB1*14:06, DRB1*14:12, DRB1*14:22, DRB1*14:25, and DQB1*06:11 are rare alleles, but are included in the ASHI CWD list. HLA ethnic diversity is the main reason for the differences in HLA alleles worldwide. The ASHI HLA CWD alleles help reduce the workload and expenses in high-resolution donor registries and the HLA allele frequencies provide a basis from which to predict the chances of finding HLA matching donors. Our data will be meaningful for the CMDP, for other worldwide donor registries, and for an updated ASHI CWD allele list.     

HLA-A, -B, -C,and -DRB1 genotyping and haplotype frequencies for a Hong Kong Chinese population of 7595 individuals

HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 gene and haplotype frequencies have been calculated from 7595 southern Chinese unrelated donors in a Hong Kong Bone Marrow Donor Registry. This is the first large-scale paper to report the distribution of A-C-B-DRB1 alleles in Hong Kong Chinese. This information is important for phylogenetic, comparative studies and estimating the optimal and cost-effective donor size and likelihood of obtaining appropriately matched donors for Chinese patients awaiting haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The allele and haplotype data are available in the Allele Frequencies Net Database under the population name ‘‘Hong Kong Chinese BMDR’’ and the identifier (AFND003357).
