Abstract
This study investigates the HLA allele diversity in Brazil, a reflection of the country's unique history of population admixture. The international comparison of findings emphasises the importance of incorporating underrepresented populations into global HLA databases. We present a comprehensive analysis of HLA alleles within the Brazilian population, utilising high-resolution sequencing data from 298,000 unrelated haematopoietic stem cell volunteer donors registered with the Brazilian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (REDOME). Our research encompasses donors from all regions of Brazil, identifying HLA alleles that are catalogued as common, intermediate or well-documented (CIWD Version 3.0). We evaluated the alleles of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1. At a two-field resolution, we identified 1969 alleles: 418 were classified as common, 358 as intermediate and 1193 as non-CIWD in Brazil. Notably, we report HLA alleles that, while not classified as common or intermediate in the CIWD 3.0 catalogue, are prevalent within the Brazilian population. A detailed list of alleles from the registry, presented at a two-field resolution and supplemented with grouped ARD levels, including three- or four-field resolution when available, serves as an essential reference for HLA typing frequencies specific to the Brazilian population.
期刊介绍:
HLA, the journal, publishes articles on various aspects of immunogenetics. These include the immunogenetics of cell surface antigens, the ontogeny and phylogeny of the immune system, the immunogenetics of cell interactions, the functional aspects of cell surface molecules and their natural ligands, and the role of tissue antigens in immune reactions. Additionally, the journal covers experimental and clinical transplantation, the relationships between normal tissue antigens and tumor-associated antigens, the genetic control of immune response and disease susceptibility, and the biochemistry and molecular biology of alloantigens and leukocyte differentiation. Manuscripts on molecules expressed on lymphoid cells, myeloid cells, platelets, and non-lineage-restricted antigens are welcomed. Lastly, the journal focuses on the immunogenetics of histocompatibility antigens in both humans and experimental animals, including their tissue distribution, regulation, and expression in normal and malignant cells, as well as the use of antigens as markers for disease.
