Analysis of the distribution of HLA-B alleles in populations from five continents.

Hum Immunol

Northern Ireland Regional Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Laboratory, City Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Published: June 2001

A two stage PCR-SSOP typing procedure, that permitted HLA-B allele assignment, was applied to DNA samples obtained from six diverse populations -Brazilian, Mexican (Series and Mestizos), Cuban (Caucasoid and Mulatto), South African Zulu, Omani, and Singapore Chinese. HLA-B allele frequencies and HLA-A/B two locus haplotype frequencies were compiled for each population.

High degree of variability in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) system restricts availability of histocompatible HLA-matched-related donors, thus increasing reliance on worldwide bone marrow registries network. Nevertheless, due to limited coverage/accessibility/affordability of some ethnicities in these registries, haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged as an alternative option, though with allorecognition-mediated graft versus host disease (GvHD) (>40% cases). A dimorphism [-21 methionine (M) or threonine (T)] in HLA-B leader peptide (exon 1) which differentially influences its HLA-E binding, plausibly regulates natural killer cell functionality, affecting GvHD vulnerability and clinically in practice for donor selection.
