HLA-A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 allele and haplotype frequencies in volunteer bone marrow donors from Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:

:We analyzed HLA allele and haplotype frequencies from donors from the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was performed on 2405 bone marrow donors from the Eastern region. HLA typing was carried out by sequencing. The most common HLA allele groups were HLA-A*02:01:01G (11.08%), A*01:01:01G (10.40%), HLA-B*52:01:01G (8.79%), B*18:01:01G (8.07%), HLA-C*04:01:01G (17.88%), C*12:03:01G (10.23%), HLA-DRB1*10:01 (14.89%), DRB1*03:01:01G (14.10%), HLA-DQB1*02:01:01G (24.53%) and DQB1*05:01:01G (20.17%). The most frequent HLA-A~ C~ B~ DRB1~ DQB1 haplotypes were HLA-A*01:03~ C*15:05:01G~ B*73:01~ DRB1*10:01:01~ DQB1*05:01:01G (3.11%) and HLA-A*01:01:01G~ C*12:02:01G~ B*52:01:01G~ DRB1*15:02:01~ DQB1*06:01:01G (2.25%). When comparing the allele and haplotype frequencies of the Eastern regions' population to those from the Central region we found significant differences in several allele frequencies including A*01:01:01G (P ≤ 0.0001), B*52:01:01G (P ≤ 0.0001), B*18:01:01G (P = 0.0001), C*12:03:01G (P < 0.0001), DRB1*10:01:01 (P < 0.0001) and DQB1*05:01:01G (P < 0.0001). Our data confirms genetic heterogeneity among the Saudi population.
