PG - 80-88 LID - 10.1111/tan.13488 [doi] AB - The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) are the most polymorphic genes in the human genome. Because of their importance for antigen recognition, HLA molecules play a central role in host defense and graft rejection upon transplantation. The aim of this study was to characterize allelic diversity of the classical HLA genes HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRA, -DRB1, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, -DPB1, and the non-classical class I genes HLA-E, -F and -G at high-resolution for a population of predominantly European ancestry from Curitiba, Brazil. Genotyping of 108 individuals was performed by next-generation sequencing on the MiSeq platform and also by Sanger sequencing. The genotype distributions of all loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05) and a total of 202 HLA variants at second field resolution were observed for the 12 loci. The strongest linkage disequilibrium (r(2) = 1.0, P < 10(-5) ) was observed for the following pairs of alleles: HLA-B*42:01:01 ~ HLA-DRB1*03:02:01; HLA-B*14:02:01 ~ HLA-C*08:02:01; B*42:01:01 ~ HLA-C*17:01:01; HLA-DRB1*03:01:01 ~ HLA-DQB1*02:01:01 ~ DRB1*03:01:01 ~ HLA-DQB1*02:01:01; DRB1*13:01:01~ HLA-DQB1*06:03:01 and HLA-DRB1*09:01:02 ~ HLA-DQA1*03:02. This is the first study to characterize all 12 HLA genes at high resolution in a single population. On the basis of the allelic frequencies of worldwide populations and principal component analysis, we confirmed the similarity of the study population to European and other Euro-descendant populations.
