Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the current genetic diversity and provide additional insights into the origins of the Algerian population by analyzing the frequencies of HLA -A,-B,-DRB1,-DQB1 alleles and associated haplotypes.
We analyzed 1,082 unrelated healthy Algerian individuals, who were potential kidney donors, recruited and assessed in the Immunology Department of CHU Mustapha in Algiers over a 10-year period (2009–2019). HLA genotyping was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction Sequence Specific Primers (PCR-SSP). The allelic typing estimate and haplotype frequencies were calculated using the R studio® software and Haplotype frequency estimation from the website https://hla-net.eu/.
We identified a total of 20 HLA-A alleles, 31 HLA-B alleles, 13 HLA-DRB1 alleles and5 HLA-DQB1 alleles.
Regarding the allele frequency, the haplotype frequency and the distribution with other population database, we were able to provide a description of Algerian genetic background and draw some anthropogenetic conclusions.
This study of HLA polymorphism in the Algerian population shows a strong genetic similarity with the populations of southern Europe and North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia and Libya) with which it has shared a common history since antiquity.
In addition to its contribution to anthropogenetics, our study, serve as a reference database for studies exploring associations between the HLA system and certain pathologies.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, the official journal of the French Society of Blood Transfusion (SFTS):
- an aid to training, at a European level
- the only French journal indexed in the hematology and immunology sections of Current Contents
Transfusion Clinique et Biologique spans fundamental research and everyday practice, with articles coming from both sides. Articles, reviews, case reports, letters to the editor and editorials are published in 4 editions a year, in French or in English, covering all scientific and medical aspects of transfusion: immunology, hematology, infectious diseases, genetics, molecular biology, etc. And finally, a convivial cross-disciplinary section on training and information offers practical updates.
Readership:
"Transfusers" are many and various: anesthetists, biologists, hematologists, and blood-bank, ICU and mobile emergency specialists...
