The American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics HLA common and well-documented (CWD) catalog, CWD 2.0.0 catalog and European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI) CWD catalog have been published, which are useful for improving the accuracy of HLA genotyping in laboratories. Here, we studied the Chinese HLA CWD catalog. A total of 812 211 unrelated volunteer donors from the China Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) were analyzed. Six hundred seventy-six alleles at the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 loci were defined as CWD alleles in the Chinese population, including 159 common and 517 well-documented alleles. The distribution of HLA alleles in the Chinese CWD catalog is different from that in the EFI CWD catalog. Thirty-two percent (215/676) of CWD alleles in the Chinese CWD catalog are shared with those in the EFI CWD catalog. Fifty-six percent (380/676) of alleles in the Chinese CWD catalog are not found in the EFI CWD catalog, while 655 alleles in the EFI CWD catalog are neither common nor well-documented alleles in the Chinese CWD catalog. The Chinese CWD catalog described in this study may help to improve high-resolution histocompatibility testing for CMDP-accredited laboratories in China. However, to accommodate an increasing number of HLA alleles, this Chinese CWD catalog should be regularly updated.

A comprehensive knowledge of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecular variation worldwide is essential in human population genetics research and disease association studies and is also indispensable for clinical applications such as allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, where ensuring HLA compatibility between donors and recipients is paramount. Enormous progress has been made in this field thanks to several decades of HLA population studies allowing the development of helpful databases and bioinformatics tools. However, it is still difficult to appraise the global HLA population diversity in a synthetic way.

The range of HLA typing for successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is gradually expanding with the next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based improvement in its quality. However, it is influenced by the allocation of finances and laboratory conditions. HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1/3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, and -DPB1 alleles were genotyped at the 3-field level by amplicon-based NGS using MiSeqDx system and compared to our previous study employing long-range PCR and NGS using TruSight HLA v2 kit, in healthy donors from South Korea.

The Birmingham H&I laboratory performed HLA typing on 456 potential deceased solid organ donors in the UK between 2014 and 2016. Accurate DPB1 typing is essential for determining HLA compatibility in transplantation, thus we report HLA-DPB1 for potential deceased solid organ donors. To correctly interpret HLA typing data, laboratories must understand both international and local HLA allele frequencies.

HLA genes play a pivotal role for successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). There is an increasing need for sophisticated screening of donor HLA genotypes for unrelated HSCT. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has emerged as an alternative for classical Sanger sequence for HLA typing.

A catalog of common, intermediate and well-documented (CIWD) HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, -DQB1 and -DPB1 alleles has been compiled from over 8 million individuals using data from 20 unrelated hematopoietic stem cell volunteer donor registries. Individuals are divided into seven geographic/ancestral/ethnic groups and data are summarized for each group and for the total population. P (two-field) and G group assignments are divided into one of four frequency categories: common (≥1 in 10 000), intermediate (≥1 in 100 000), well-documented (≥5 occurrences) or not-CIWD.
