Paradoxically, maternal immunomodulation requires foetal antigen recognition, especially involving certain HLA molecules. Pre-eclampsia, a severe hypertensive complication, has been linked to antigenic similarity. Previously, we showed no selection for HLA (in)compatibility in uncomplicated naturally conceived pregnancies. However, pre-eclamptic pregnancies were associated with increased total maternal–foetal HLA and HLA-C matching. These associations suggest a role for HLA mismatches in immune regulation leading to an uncomplicated pregnancy. To better understand HLA homozygosity in human reproduction, we aimed to determine if there is a preferential selection for HLA compatibility in a genetically isolated population, and its relation to hypertensive complications. A nested case-control study, comprising 125 uncomplicated pregnancies and 50 with hypertensive complications (29 with pregnancy-induced hypertension, 21 with pre-eclampsia) was conducted in a genetically isolated Dutch population (F<sub>ROH</sub> 1.3–3.1). Maternal and foetal HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQA1, -DQB1 and maternal killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genotyping were performed. Maternal–foetal HLA (mis)match counts were compared to expected values from randomisation of paternal HLA haplotypes over maternal haplotypes of the foetuses. Mismatched CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell epitopes presented by maternal HLA class II were predicted using the PIRCHE-II algorithm. In uncomplicated pregnancies, no difference was found between observed and expected maternal–foetal HLA (mis)matches. However, pregnancies with hypertensive complications showed significantly higher observed HLA-DQB1 mismatches, reflected in PIRCHE-II scores. No significant differences were found in KIR/HLA-C frequencies. Interpretation is limited by the small sample size and the grouping of distinct hypertensive disorders. Nonetheless, maternal–foetal HLA-DQB1 mismatch seems to play a role in the aetiology of hypertensive complications during pregnancy in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":13172,"journal":{"name":"HLA","volume":"106 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/tan.70374","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144888492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
