Major histocompatibility complex class II (HLA-DRB and -DQB) allele frequencies in Botswana: association with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection

Southern Africa is facing an unprecedented public health crisis due to the high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Vaccine development and testing efforts, mainly based on elicitation of HIV-specific T cells, are under way. To understand the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles in HIV pathogenesis and to facilitate HLA-based HIV-1 vaccine design, we analyzed the frequencies of HLA class II alleles within the southern African country of Botswana. Common HLA class II alleles were identified within the Botswana population through the molecular genotyping of DRB and DQB1 loci. The DRB1 allele groups DRB1*01, DRB1*02/15, DRB1*03, DRB1*11, and DRB1*13 were encountered at frequencies above 20%. Within the DQB1 locus, DQB1*06 (47.7%) was the most common allele group, followed by DQB1*03 (39.2%) and DQB1*04 (25.8%). We found that DRB1*01 was more common in HIV-negative than in HIV-positive individuals and that those who expressed DRB1*08 had lower median viral loads. We demonstrate that the frequencies of certain HLA class II alleles in this Botswana population differ substantially from those in North American populations, including African-Americans. Common allele groups within Botswana cover large percentages of other African populations and could be targeted in regional vaccine designs.     

Polymorphism of HLA-DRB1, -DQB1 and -DPB1 genes in Bai ethnic group in southwestern China

In this work, polymorphism of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1, -DQB1 and -DPB1 genes was detected using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing method in 128 healthy unrelated volunteers from the Bai ethnic group of Yunnan province of southwest China. Among all the 28 alleles detected for the DRB1 gene, the most common allele was DRB1*120201 with a frequency of 16.41%, followed by DRB1*090102, DRB1*080302, DRB1*1404, DRB1*150101, DRB1*140101 and DRB1*160201, with frequencies of 10.16%, 9.77%, 9.38%, 8.98%, 8.59% and 8.21%, respectively. Among 19 DQB1 alleles detected, the most frequent allele was DQB1*030101/0309 (35.94%), followed by DQB1*050201 (11.33%), DQB1*060101/060103 (10.54%) and DQB1*0401 (10.16%). For the DPB1 locus, the most common alleles were DPB1*0501 (42.19%), DPB1*1301 (13.28%), DPB1*020102 (10.93%) and DPB1*040101 (9.77%). The comparison of HLA class II allele frequencies of Bais with those of other Chinese populations suggested that the Bai ethnic group belonged to the southern group of Chinese.     

HLA class IIDRB, DQA1 and DQB1 polymorphisms in the Polish population from Wielkopolska

HLA DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles were determined by DNA PCR-SSO typing in a sample of 99 individuals originating from Wielkopolska (midwestern Poland). A high number of alleles (38 DRB1, 8 DQA1 and 14 DQB1) was detected at each locus, many of them presenting notable frequencies in this population. The three HLA loci are thus characterized by very high heterozygosity levels (93% for DRB1, 85% for DQA1, and 88% for DQB1), which confirms the results found for other European populations. A total of 6 DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 haplotypes are detected with an estimated frequency higher than 5%, namely, DRB1*1501-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602, DRB1*0701-DQA1*0201-DQB1*0201, DRB1*0101-DQA1*0101-DQB1*0501, DRB1*1101-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0301, DRB1*03011-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201, and DRB1*1301-DQA1*0103-DQB1*0603. A genetic distance analysis between the Polish and other world populations tested for HLA class II indicates that the Wielkopolska community is close to geographically close, rather than linguistically related populations from Europe. More generally, a good agreement between genetics and geography is found for DRB1 and DQB1 polymorphisms in Europe, suggesting that these two loci are highly informative for assessing historical relationships among humans.

HLA DRB1* and DQB1* allelic diversity among Nadars: a primitive south Indian Dravidian caste group

South India is one of the oldest geophysical regions occupied mainly by Dravidian language-speaking people. In the present study, 84 unrelated healthy Nadar individuals from Tamil Nadu State were analyzed for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1* and DQB1* allele frequencies and their haplotype frequencies were analyzed by high resolution polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-typing of genomic DNA. Results revealed that Nadars possessed >0.1 allele frequencies of HLA DRB1*15011, 03, 04, 1404, 0701, 1001, and DQB1*0201, 03, 0501, and 0503. The highest frequencies of DRB1*0317 (0.048), DRB1*1317 (0.012), and DRB1*1404 (0.107) in the world were found among the Nadar caste. The most frequent two-locus haplotypes identified among the Nadars were DRB1*0701-DQB1*0201 and DRB1*1000-DQB1*0501, and DRB1*1404-DQB1*0503 and DRB1*15011-DQB1*0601. When compared with world populations, HLA DRB1*1322, DRB1*1434, and DQB1*0614 were identified exclusively among Nadars. The heterozygosity and Watterson's homozygosity tests indicated that balancing selection still operates among the South Indian caste groups. The hierarchical cluster analysis for DRB1 data from the Indian caste and population groups showed that the Nadars cluster with Kashmir Brahmins and North Indians. The present study shows that the Nadar caste has several unique alleles and haplotypes at high frequency that are rare or absent in other populations of India and the world.

Abstract：

Objective To analyze the allele frequencies and polymorphism of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) -A, B, Cw, DRB1 and DQB1 between donors-recipients on high-resolution typing; and to analyze the matching and mismatching proportion between donors and recipients. Methods HLA highresolution types were determined by sequence based typing (SBT), sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) and sequence specific primer (SSP) on 2540 unrelated Chinese Han individuals including 1168 recipients and 1372 donors, then statistical analyses were carried out. Results Forty-four HLA-A alleles were detected, and among them the frequencies of A * 1101, A * 2402, A * 0201, A * 0207, A * 3303, A *0206 and A * 3001 exceeded 0.05, and accounted for 80.4%. Eighty-one HLA-B alleles were detected, and frequencies of B * 4001, B * 4601, B * 5801, B * 1302 and B * 5101 exceeded 0. 05, and accounted for 43. 0% of total. There were 44 HLA- Cw alleles, among them the frequencies of Cw * 0702, Cw * 0102,Cw * 0304, Cw * 0801, Cw * 0602, Cw * 0303, Cw * 0302 and Cw * 0401 exceeded 0.05, and were 80.3 %of total. There were 61 HLA-DRB1 alleles, the frequencies of DRB1 * 0901, DRB1 * 1501, DRB1 * 1202,DRB1 * 0803, DRB1 * 0701, DRB1 * 0405, DRB1 * 0301 and DRB1 * 1101 exceeded 0. 05, and were 70. 1% of total. Finally, 22 HLA-DQB1 alleles were detected, the frequencies of DQB1 * 0301, DQB1 *0303, DQB1 * 0601, DQB1 * 0602, DQB1 * 0202, DQB1 * 0302, DQB1 * 0401, DQB1 * 0502 and DQB1 *0201 exceeded 0. 05, and they were 87.4% of total. All the five loci were of heterozygote deficiency. The HLA-A, B and DRB1 loci conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P＞0. 05); but HLA-Cw and HLA-DQB1 loci did not (P＜0.05). Except several particular genotypes, all the five loci conformed to HWE. After comparing data between donors and recipients, only 22.4% of recipients found HLA matched donors (10/10); 24. 6% of recipients found single HLA allele mismatched donors (9/10); 26. 3% of recipients had two HLA alleles mismatched donors (8/10). Conclusion The characteristics of allele frequencies and polymorphism of HLA-A, B, Cw, DRB1 and DQB1 on high-resolution typing in Chinese Han population is valuable for donor searching in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and it provides genetic basis for donor registry and usage of donor resource for Chinese Marrow Donor Program.     

HLA class II allele frequencies in the Lebanese population

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) allele determination is becoming an increasingly important aspect in the field of transplantation as well as in the area of HLA association with a number of diseases. Through Lebanon's history, this country, situated at a crossroads between Europe, Asia and Africa, has been a host for various populations of different ethnicities. The aim of our study is to determine whether allele polymorphisms in the Lebanese population present a distinguishing feature. Although data on HLA phenotypic polymorphisms in Lebanon have been reported in the literature, our study is the first to examine frequencies of HLA polymorphisms in the country at the molecular level. Allele frequencies of the Lebanese population were analyzed and compared with those of other populations. HLA class II genotyping of DRB1* and DQB1* loci by PCR-sequence-specific primer (SSP) was performed on 191 unrelated Lebanese subjects of both sexes and of different regions and sects in Lebanon. The study revealed that DRB1*1101, DRB1*0401 and DRB1*0301 were the three most common DRB1* alleles observed (respective allele frequencies of 0.302, 0.164 and 0.096). In the DQB locus allele group, DQB1*0301 (allele frequency of 0.384) was highly predominant followed by the DQB1* 0501, DQB1*0201 and DQB1*0302 with respective allele frequencies of 0.199, 0.195 and 0.103. These results confirm previous serological studies and show the high prevalence of DRB1*1101 and DQB1*0301 in Lebanon, which could be explained by the high frequency of consanguineous marriages in the population. The presence of other common alleles is consistent with historical data showing that the Lebanese population is an admixture of various ethnicities.

HLA-DPB1, -DRB1, and -DQB1 polymorphism defined in Ewenki ethnic minority of China Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

In the present study, DNA typing for human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DPB1, -DRB1, and -DQB1 was performed using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based-typing (PCR-SBT) method on 94 randomly selected, healthy, unrelated individuals from the Ewenki ethnic population in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. A total of 64 alleles: 25 in DRB1, 19 in DQB1 and 20 in DPB1, were found. Among the 25 detected DRB1 alleles, DRB1*090102, DRB1*030101, DRB1*040101, DRB1*070101, and DRB1*120101/1206 were commonly observed, with frequencies of 16.0%, 13.3%, 10.1%, 7.4%, and 7.4%, respectively. The most predominant DQB1 allele was DQB1*030101/0309 with the frequency of 27.7%, followed by DQB1*0201/0202 (19.7%), DQB1*030302 (12.8%), DQB1*060101/060103 (6.4%), and DQB1*050201 (5.9%). Of the 20 detected DPB1 alleles, DPB1*020102 was the most frequent allele with the frequency of 25.5%. DPB1*0402 (21.3%), DPB1*0401 (20.2%), DPB1*0501 (10.6%) and DPB1*4101 (3.7%) were also very frequent alleles. The most frequent two-locus haplotypes observed in the Ewenki were: DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201/0202(10.7%), DRB1*090102-DQB1*03032(9.8%), DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201/0202 (5.5%), DRB1*070101-DQB1*030302 (5.2%) and DRB1*120101/1206-DQB1*030101/0309 (4.6%). The distribution of the HLA class II alleles and haplotypes frequencies as well as the dendrogram showed that the Ewenki population belongs to the northern group of Chinese.
