In this study we conducted a high resolution, sequence-based genotyping of HLA class I and class II genes of more than 2000 women from Kenya, eastern Tanzania and southern Uganda around Lake Victoria and analyzed their allele, phenotype and haplotype frequencies. A considerable genetic diversity was observed at both class I and II loci. A total of 79 HLA-A, 113 HLA-B, 53 HLA-C, 25 HLA-DPA1, 60 HLA-DPB1, 15 HLA-DQA1, 44 HLA-DQB1 and 38 HLA-DRB1 alleles have been identified. The most common class I alleles were A * 02:01:01 (10.90%), B * 58:02 (8.79%), and C * 06:02:01 (16.98%). The most common class II alleles were DPA1*01:03:01 (40.60%), DPB1 * 01:01:01 (23.45%), DQA1 * 01:02:01 (31.03%), DQB1 * 03:01:01 (21.79%), DRB1 * 11:01:02 (11.65%), DRB3 * 02:02:01 (31.65%), DRB4 * 01:01:01 (10.50%), and DRB5 * 01:01:01 (10.50%). Higher than expected homozygosity was observed at HLA-B (P = 0.022), DQA1 (P = 0.004), DQB1 (P = 0.023), and DRB1 (P = 0.0006) loci. The allele frequency distribution of this population is very similar to the ones observed in other sub-Saharan populations with the exception of lower frequencies of A * 23 (5.55% versus 11.21%) and DQA1 * 03 (4.79% versus 11.72%), and higher frequencies of DPB1 * 30 (2.26% versus 0.37%) and DRB1 * 11 (21.51% versus 15.89%). The knowledge of the diversity and allele/ phenotype frequencies of the HLA alleles of this east African population, can contribute to the understanding of how host genetic factors influence disease susceptibility and effective anti-retroviral treatment of HIV infections and future vaccine trials.展开更多
文摘目的 探讨免疫性血小板输注无效(PTR)患者HLA/HPA抗体特异性分布特征及其对血小板输注效果的影响。方法 本研究以86例免疫性PTR患者为研究对象,收集其性别、年龄、身高、体重、配血次数、疾病类型、输注前后血小板计数等临床资料,通过微珠法进行HLA特异性抗体的检测,并分析抗体特性对血小板输注效果的影响。结果 86例PTR患者中,单独HLA抗体、单独HPA抗体、HLA+HPA抗体阳性的患者分别为72例(83.72%)、8例(9.30%)、6例(6.98%)。HLA抗体在各位点中检出频率最高的抗体对应等位基因分别为A*25:01、B*15:12、C*02:02(和C*17:01),检出率分别为81.48%、87.04%、48.15%;而对应抗原表位出现频率最高的前三位为163LG、97V、71ATD,检出率分别为87.04%、77.78%、74.07%。仅存在HLA抗体的患者,输注交叉配型相合血小板的24 h血小板计数纠正增加指数(CCI)及输注有效情况均明显优于随机血小板(P<0.01)。在血小板交叉配型阴性结果的患者中,HLA抗体强度与交叉配型相合血小板的24 h CCI值及输注有效情况呈负相关关系,强度越高,输注效果越差(P<0.01)。HLA抗体强度为中、低等水平的患者,输注交叉配型相合血小板的24 h CCI值及输注有效情况均优于输注随机血小板(P<0.05)。结论 本研究所得到的PTR患者HLA/HPA抗体特性及其对血小板输注效果影响的结果,可为血小板库建立时供者的选择提供指导,同时对临床PTR患者的治疗方式选择有一定的参考价值。
