A Single-Center Experience on HLA Typing with 11 Loci Next Generation Sequencing in Korean Patients with Hematologic Disease.

ABSTRACT: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system comprises the most polymorphic genes of the human genome and is famous for its potential pathological roles. To accurately type HLA genes and find HLA-matched donors, which are critical for effective hematopoietic transplantation, HLA typing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) was implemented. We aimed to share the experience of HLA typing using NGS in patients with hematologic malignancies and evaluate its association with hematologic diseases. Data from 211 Korean, non-familial patients diagnosed with a hematologic disease were reviewed, and NGS was performed for 11 HLA loci. Three-field HLA typing with G code was successfully achieved for all loci and the known linkage between HLA-DRB3/4/5 and HLA-DRB1 was fully mat
