Evidence for a higher resolution of HLA genotyping by a new NGS-based approach

M Alizadeh et al. Transfus Clin Biol. 2017 Sep.

Abstract

With more than 16,000 alleles identified, the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) system is one of the most polymorphic regions of the human genome. Regarding the crucial role of HLA compatibility in transplantation and especially in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, identification of HLA polymorphisms at a high-resolution level is of major interest. Recently, NGS technology has been proposed which appears to be simpler and more informative than the classical molecular methods such as SSP, SSOr and SBT. In the present report, a new set of NGS reagents and the appropriate associated software for sequence analysis are described. Through different studies, the performances of the system are illustrated and demonstrate that the method herein described overcomes current limitations in performing high-resolution HLA typing in clinical laboratories.

Keywords: Génotypage de haute résolution; HLA; High-resolution genotyping; NGS; Transplantation.
