HLA-A, B and DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies in volunteer bone marrow donors from the north of Parana State

Abstract: BackgroundKnowledge of allele and haplotype frequencies of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is important in the search for unrelated bone marrow donors. The Brazilian population is very heterogeneous and the HLA system is highly informative of populations because of the high level of polymorphisms.AimThe aim of this study was to characterize the immunogenetic profile of ethnic groups (Caucasians, Afro-Brazilians and Asians) in the north of Parana State.MethodsA study was carried out of 3978 voluntary b… Show more

“…Polymorphism of HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 in Brazil was deeply analyzed based on serologic or low-resolution genotyping volunteer donors enrolled in REDOME (Brazilian Registry of Bone Marrow Donor). [53][54][55][56] However, few studies describe the diversity of many HLA loci at high resolution in the same population. Population studies are important for evolutionary and anthropological studies.…”

“…HLA‐A*02 and A*03 variants were more frequent in all groups, but no significant differences were observed between groups. In this study, the distribution of these alleles was similar to the results of other population studies carried out in Brazil, such as in Parana (Ruiz et al ., ; Bardi et al ., ), Sao Paulo (Salvadori et al ., ) and populations from north‐east of Brazil (Nigam et al ., ; Carvalho et al ., ). When compared with REDOME (), these allele variants had a similar distribution for each region, with a little difference in the frequencies presented in this study.…”
