A fast and reliable method of HLA-Class I and HPA genotyping is necessary to construct a platelet donor bank with known HLA-Class I and HPA genotypes. Ten pairs of specific primers for HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HPA-1 through HPA-6w, HPA-15 and HPA-21w were designed. The appropriate fragments were optimised for amplification in a single multiplex reaction. After a cleanup step using paramagnetic beads, the amplicon library was prepared and sequenced. To validate the accuracy of the developed method, commercial NGS kits for the genotyping of HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C and the TaqMan real-time PCR method in-house for the genotyping of HPA-1 through HPA-6w, HPA-15 and HPA-21w were used to detect all the specimens in parallel. A total of 386 specimens were detected and the results of genotyping HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HPA-1 through HPA-6w, HPA-15 and HPA-21w were obtained simultaneously, which is 100% consistent between the two methods. Four new HLA alleles, HLA-A*11:451, HLA-A*30:01:26, HLA-B*39:201 and HLA-B*40:538, were also reconfirmed. Two novel SNVs, c.2671C > T and c.2681T > G, in the coding region of <i>ITGA2B</i> were detected, all of which are heterozygous in individuals. A novel NGS method based on multiplex PCR was established to detect HLA-Class I and HPA simultaneously, which is high-throughput, rapid and accurate and could be applied to build a platelet donor bank.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13172,"journal":{"name":"HLA","volume":"104 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exons 2–5 of <i>MICA</i> and exons 2–4 of <i>MICB</i> were amplified using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sequence reads of ≥ 51 depth counts were consistently obtained for each sample exon, and target exons were determined to match reference sequences contained in the IPD-IMGT/HLA database. <i>MICA</i> and <i>MICB</i> alleles were tested using exon combinations.
