Abstract
Targeted next generation sequencing-based HLA typing of a 17-year-old female transplant patient showed homozygosity for the HLA-B allele. The segregation analysis of HLA haplotypes of family members only allowed the conclusion that the B-allele was deleted in the haplotype inherited from the father and accordingly paternal grandfather, resulting in false homozygous genotyping. The subsequent whole-genome sequencing of the patient and her father confirmed an approximately 85 kb deletion at 6p21.33 from the 5′ end of the HLA-B to the 3′ end of the HLA-C gene extending telomeric to HLA-C.
期刊介绍:
HLA, the journal, publishes articles on various aspects of immunogenetics. These include the immunogenetics of cell surface antigens, the ontogeny and phylogeny of the immune system, the immunogenetics of cell interactions, the functional aspects of cell surface molecules and their natural ligands, and the role of tissue antigens in immune reactions. Additionally, the journal covers experimental and clinical transplantation, the relationships between normal tissue antigens and tumor-associated antigens, the genetic control of immune response and disease susceptibility, and the biochemistry and molecular biology of alloantigens and leukocyte differentiation. Manuscripts on molecules expressed on lymphoid cells, myeloid cells, platelets, and non-lineage-restricted antigens are welcomed. Lastly, the journal focuses on the immunogenetics of histocompatibility antigens in both humans and experimental animals, including their tissue distribution, regulation, and expression in normal and malignant cells, as well as the use of antigens as markers for disease.
