The frequencies of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B and -DRB1 alleles and haplotypes were statistically analysed among 3238 donors from Chinese Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) Jiangsu Branch. All donors were typed using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) method or polymerase chain reaction-reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR-rSSOP) method. As a result, a total of 46 A, 85 B and 51 DRB1 alleles were found in Jiangsu population. The first three frequent alleles in HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 loci respectively were A*11:01(16.52%), A*24:02(15.10%) and A*02:01(13.02%); B*13:02(11.60%), B*46:01(8.89%) and B*58:01(7.12%); and DRB1*07:01(15.78%), DRB1*09:01(15.26%) and DRB1*15:01(9.76%). The top two frequent A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were A*30:01-B*13:02-DRB1*07:01(8.87%) and A*02:07-B*46:01-DRB1*09:01(2.79%); the top three A-B haplotypes were A*33:03-B*58:01-DRB1*03:01(2.59%), A*30:01-B*13:02(9.92%) and A*33:03-B*58:01(5.48%); the top two B-DRB1 haplotypes were B*13:02-DRB1*07:01(10.23%) and B*46:01-DRB1*09:01(4.61%); the top two A-DRB1 haplotypes were A*30:01-DRB1*07:01(8.96%) and A*33:03-DRB1*13:02(3.95%). These findings provided useful information in the study of genetics and anthropology in Chinese Han population. It also served as a basic guide for selection of future donors in CMDP Jiangsu Branch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
