The aim of this report was to compare our data with data presented in the European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI) catalogue (version 1.0) and to evaluate whether or not current (CUR) HLA alleles found in the Croatian population fall into the same categories of common (COM) or well-documented (WD) HLA alleles as those listed in the EFI catalogue. Among 237 HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 alleles observed in the Croatian population so far, 181 alleles were observed ≥3 times. According to our criteria, 36 alleles at HLA-A locus, 71 alleles at HLA-B locus and 51 alleles at HLA-DRB1 locus were characterised as CUR in Croatia (COM or WD in EFI catalogue), while 23 local HLA alleles are not listed at all among COM or WD alleles in EFI catalogue.

Simulation is a key tool in population genetics for both methods development and empirical research, but producing simulations that recapitulate the main features of genomic datasets remains a major obstacle. Today, more realistic simulations are possible thanks to large increases in the quantity and quality of available genetic data, and the sophistication of inference and simulation software. However, implementing these simulations still requires substantial time and specialized knowledge.

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.

The explosion in population genomic data demands ever more complex modes of analysis, and increasingly, these analyses depend on sophisticated simulations. Recent advances in population genetic simulation have made it possible to simulate large and complex models, but specifying such models for a particular simulation engine remains a difficult and error-prone task. Computational genetics researchers currently re-implement simulation models independently, leading to inconsistency and duplication of effort.
