Objective: To investigate the role of different immunoglobulin- like receptor (KIR)haplotypes in haplo- identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Method: Killer cell KIR genotyping was performed on 468 individuals from 156 unrelated families by PCR-SSP. A total of 624 KIR haplotypes from the parents were used for haplotype analysis. Ninety-two patients received haplo-identical HSCT from one of the parents.
Results: The family study showed segregation of one A haplotype and at least 20 unique B haplotypes. The frequency of haplotype A was 72.92% (455/624). The most commonly observed haplotypes in group B were B1, B2, and B3, present at a frequency of 10.26%, 5.77%, and 4.48%, respectively. Compared to KIR gene matched donors (n=17), grafts from KIR gene mismatched donors (n= 14) had a positive effect on survival after haplo- identical HSCT for AML/MDS patients (OS: 88.2%vs 42.9%,P=0.015; RFS: 88.2%vs 35.7%,P=0.007). No effect was observed for ALL/NHL patients (OS: 76.0%vs 75.0%,P=0.727; RFS: 68.0%vs 65.0%,P=0.866). A significantly lower survival rate was observed for transplants from AA (n=52) and AB1/AB2 donors (n=15), compared to other group Bx donors (n=25) (OS: 53.3%vs 96.0%,P=0.017; RFS: 53.3%vs 92.0%,P=0.019). Meanwhile, the risk of relapse was much higher in AA group (n=52) compared to Bx group (n=40) (25.0%vs 5.0%,P=0.009). A higher risk of TRM was observed in AB1/AB2 group (P=0.012). In addition, transplant from donors carried Cen-B was associated with an increased survival compared with Cen-A homozygous donors (OS: 94.7%vs 68.5%,P=0.036; RFS: 89.5%vs 64.4%,P=0.045).
Conclusion: Overall, KIR genotyping and haplotype analyses should be useful for selection of the most optimal donors with favorable KIR gene grafts. KIR gene mismatch donors should be preferred for AML/MDS patients. Selecting donors carried Cen- B and avoiding the selection of donors of KIR genotype AA/AB1/AB2 was strongly advisable for haplo-identical HSCT.

Background: Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are key molecules used by natural killer (NK) cells to interact with target cells. These receptors exhibit extensive genotypic polymorphism which has been associated with varying outcomes in immune responses against diseases. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between genotypes and haplotypes with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Saudi patients.

Introduction: Accurate genotyping of Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) genes plays a pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of innate immune responses, disease correlations, and the advancement of personalized medicine. However, due to the high variability of the KIR region and high level of sequence similarity among different KIR genes, the generic genotyping workflows are unable to accurately infer copy numbers and complete genotypes of individual KIR genes from next-generation sequencing data. Thus, specialized genotyping tools are needed to genotype this complex region.
