Background: Although human leukocyte antigen (HLA) data for the Turkish population has been reported, there are no statistics on the HLA-DPB1 locus, which has recently received significant attention, particularly in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In addition, there is no study that has reported the 2-6 loci HLA haplotype distribution, 8-digit HLA allele frequency, and genotype frequency in the Turkish population.

Aims: To evaluate the low and high resolution (2-4-8 digits) HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, -DPB1 allele data using the data of 6100 healthy individuals from the Central Anatolian region of Turkey.

Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: All tests were performed using molecular HLA techniques: low-resolution DNA-based sequence-specific oligonucleotides, low/high-resolution DNA-based sequence-specific primer, and high-resolution next generation sequencing. A total of 6100 healthy donors with a minimum of 3 loci (HLA-A, -B, -DRB1) were analyzed for their HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 data. Pypop and HLA-net GENE[RATE] were used to analyze the data.

Results: Among the HLA class I alleles, the following were the most frequently observed alleles: for HLA-A, , and ; for HLA-B, , and ; and for HLA-C, , and . Among the HLA class II alleles, the following alelles were the most frequently observed: for HLA-DRB1, , and ; for HLA-DQB1, , and ; and for HLA- DPB1, , and . The most common alleles among HLA-DPB1 in the 4-digit evaluation were DPB1*04:01, DPB1*02:01, and DPB1*04:02. Among the HLA classes I and II, the following were the most frequently observed 8-digit alleles in HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1 and -DPB1 were , and , respectively. The most common 6 loci haplotype was (2.71%).

Conclusion: In this study, low and high resolution HLA-DPB1 allele frequency, 6 locus haplotype frequency and genotype frequency were reported for the first time in Turkish population. These new data can be used to map HLA in our country and may provide ideas for potential future studies.
