Abstract
Next generation DNA sequencing is used to determine the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, and -DQB1 assignments of 1009 unrelated volunteers for the unrelated donor registry in The Netherlands. The analysis characterizes all HLA exons and introns for class I alleles; at least exons 2 to 3 for HLA-DRB1; and exons 2 to 6 for HLA-DQB1. Of the distinct alleles present, there are 229 class I and 71 class II; 36 of these alleles are novel. The majority (approximately 98%) of the cumulative allele frequency at each locus is contributed by alleles that appear three or more times. Alleles encoding protein variation outside of the antigen recognition domains are 0.6% of the class I assignments and 5.3% of the class II assignments.
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.
