HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies of 10 918 Koreans from bone marrow donor registry in Korea.
The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) system is the most polymorphic genetic system in humans, and HLA matching is crucial in organ transplantation, especially in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We investigated HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies at allelic level in 10 918 Koreans from bone marrow donor registry in Korea. Intermediate resolution HLA typing was performed using Luminex technology (Wakunaga, Japan), and additional allelic level typing was performed using PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism method and/or sequence-based typing (Abbott Molecular, USA). Allele and haplotype frequencies were calculated by direct counting and maximum likelihood methods, respectively. A total of 39 HLA-A, 66 HLA-B and 47 HLA-DRB1 alleles were identified. High-frequency alleles found at a frequency of ≥5% were 6 HLA-A (A*02:01, *02:06, *11:01, *24:02, *31:01 and *33:03), 6 HLA-B (B*15:01, *35:01, *44:03, *51:01, 54:01 and *58:01) and 8 HLA-DRB1 (DRB1*01:01, *04:05, *04:06, *07:01, *08:03, *09:01, *13:02 and *15:01) alleles. At each locus, A*02, B*15 and DRB1*14 generic groups were most diverse at allelic level, consisting of 9, 12 and 11 different alleles, respectively. A total of 366, 197 and 21 different HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were estimated with frequencies of ≥0.05%, ≥0.1% and ≥0.5%, respectively. The five most common haplotypes with frequencies of ≥2.0% were A*33:03-B*44:03-DRB1*13:02 (4.97%), A*33:03-B*58:01-DRB1*13:02, A*33:03-B*44:03-DRB1*07:01, A*24:02-B*07:02-DRB1*01:01 and A*24:02-B*52:01-DRB1*15:02. Among 34 serologic HLA-A-B-DR haplotypes with frequencies of ≥0.5%, 17 haplotypes revealed allele-level diversity and majority of the allelic variation was arising from A2, A26, B61, B62, DR4 and DR14 specificities. Haplotype diversity obtained in this study is the most comprehensive data thus far reported in Koreans, and the information will be useful for unrelated stem cell transplantation as well as for disease association studies.

Study on the polymorphisms of HLA-ABCDQB1DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in Hubei Han population of China.
The present study aimed to analyse the frequencies of human leukocyte antigen HLA-ABCDQB1 and HLA-DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in a subset of 3,732 Han population from Hubei of China. All samples were typed in the HLA-ABCDQB1 and HLA-DRB1 loci using the sequence-based typing method; subsequently, the HLA polymorphisms were analysed. A total of 47 HLA-A, 89 HLA-B, 43 HLA-C, 49 HLA-DRB1 and 24 HLA-DQB1 alleles were identified in the Hubei Han population. The top three most frequent alleles in the HLA-ABCDQB1 and HLA-DRB1 were A*11:01 (0.2617), A*24:02 (0.1590), A*02:07 (0.1281); B*46:01 (0.1502), B*40:01 (0.1409) and B*58:01 (0.0616); C*01:02 (0.2023), C*07:02 (0.1691) and C*03:04 (0.1175); and DQB1*03:01 (0.2000), DQB1*03:03 (0.1900), DQB1*06:01 (0.1187); DRB1*09:01 (0.1790), DRB1*15:01 (0.1062) and DRB1*12:02 (0.0841), respectively. Meanwhile, the three most frequent two-loci haplotypes were A*02:07-C*01:02 (0.0929), B*46:01-C*01:02 (0.1366) and DQB1*03:03-DRB1*09:01 (0.1766). The three most frequent three-loci haplotypes were A*02:07-B*46:01-C*01:02 (0.0883), B*46:01-DQB1*03:03-DRB1*09:01 (0.0808) and C*01:02-DQB1*03:03-DRB1*09:01 (0.0837). The three most frequent four-loci haplotypes were A*02:07-B*46:01-C*01:02-DQB1*03:03 (0.0494), B*46:01-DRB1*09:01-C*01:02-DQB1*03:03 (0.0729) and A*02:07-B*46:01-DQB1*03:03-DRB1*09:01 (0.0501). The most frequent five-loci haplotype was A*02:07-B*46:01-C*01:02-DQB1*03:03-DRB1*09:01 (0.0487). Heat maps and multiple correspondence analysis based on the frequencies of HLA specificity indicated that the Hubei Han population might be described into Southern Chinese populations. Our results lay a certain foundation for future population studies, disease association studies and donor recruitment strategies.
