Abstract: | DNA microarrays are a powerful experimental tool for the detection of specific genomic sequences and are invaluable to a broad array of applications: clinical diagnosis, personalized medicine, drug research and development, gene therapy, food control technologies, and environmental sciences. Alloimmunization to human platelet antigens (HPAs) is commonly responsible for neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, post-transfusional purpura and platelet transfusion refractoriness. Using DNA microarrays, we developed a diagnosis to type the biallelic HPA-1 platelet group. The region for the human genomic DNA sequence that contains the polymorphism responsible for HPA-1 alleles was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The expected DNA fragments were hybridized on DNA microarrays, and the data were analyzed using specially developed software. Our initial results show that the two HPA-1 antigens polymorphisms containing a single base difference were detected using DNA microarrays. |
