PG - 188-197 LID - 10.1111/tan.14167 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identification at the allelic level is important for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) resolves ambiguous alleles by determining the phase of the polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to validate the software for HLA-SBT (sequence-based typing), assess Korean allele frequency, and characterise the performance of NGS-HLA typing. METHODS: From the 2009 to 2016 registry, 1293 unrelated healthy donors with a complete dataset of previously characterised HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 loci were selected and assessed for frequency, haplotype inference, and relative linkage disequilibrium. For performance characteristics of NGS-HLA, alleles included in 1293 cases and ambiguous or alleles assigned as new by SBT-HLA software, or unassigned alleles were included. A total of 91 and 41 quality control samples resulted in 1056 alleles (132 samples x 4 loci x 2 diploid) for analysis. The GenDx NGSgo kit was used for NGS-HLA typing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. RESULTS: A panel of 132 samples covered 231 alleles, including 53 HLA-A, 80 HLA-B, 43 HLA-C, and 55 HLA-DRB1 by HLA-SBT typing. Comparison of SBT-HLA and NGS-HLA typing showed 99.7% (1053/1056) concordance and discrepant cases were resolved by manual evaluation. Typing by NGS resulted in 67 HLA-A, 112 HLA-B, 71 HLA-C, and 72 HLA-DRB1 alleles. A total of 132 ambiguous, 4 new, and 1 unassigned alleles by HLA-SBT were resolved by NGS-HLA typing. CONCLUSIONS: NGS-HLA typing provided robust and conclusive results without ambiguities, and its implementation could support HSCT in clinical settings. CI - (c) 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
