Association of HLA-DRB1*04:05 allele with drug-induced interstitial lung disease in Japanese population. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2020; 20:823-830. [PMID: 32467566 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-020-0172-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DILD) is a life-threatening adverse reaction. The Japanese population is more susceptible to DILD as compared with other populations, suggesting its pathogenesis could vary depending on ethnic genetic background. We conducted case-control studies to elucidate the association between DILD and HLA alleles in the Japanese. The 177 clinically diagnosed DILD patients and 3002 healthy controls for exploration and 55 DILD patients and 201 healthy controls for validation were genotyped for four HLA genes. HLA-DRB1*04:05 was significantly associated with DILD (corrected p = 0.014); this was also validated in the other set of patients/controls. Chemical drugs other than protein therapeutics showed this association (p = 1.7 × 10-4) . The Japanese population showed a higher HLA-DRB1*04:05 frequency than most other populations. In conclusion, HLA-DRB1*04:05 could be associated with DILD susceptibility in Japanese individuals, and its high general frequency may explain the high reported incidence of DILD in Japanese.

The prevalence of HPA-1a alloimmunization and the potential risk of FNAIT depend on both the DRB3*01:01 allele and associated DR-DQ haplotypes. Scand J Immunol 2020; 92:e12890. [PMID: 32299122 DOI: 10.1111/sji.12890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Alloimmunization against human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a during pregnancy can cause foetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) and severe bleeding in the foetus or newborn and likely depends on several factors. HPA-1a alloimmunization is associated with DRB3*01:01, which is associated with several DR-DQ haplotypes. However, it is not known to what extent these haplotypes contribute to the prevalence of HPA-1a alloimmunization. HPA-1a-alloimmunized women, identified in a prospective study, and random donors were typed for selected DRB3, DRB4, DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles to determine allele and DR-DQ haplotype frequencies. DRB3*01:01 was carried by 94% HPA-1a-immunized women compared to 27% in the general population. In the first population, the DR3-DQ2 haplotype was overrepresented (P < .003). The prevalence of HPA-1a alloimmunization was estimated to be about twice as frequent with DR3-DQ2 compared to DR13-DQ6, together accounting for about 90% of DRB3*01:01-positive individuals. Further, we examined DQB1*02 and DRB4*01:01 alleles for their reported association with HPA-1a alloimmunization, in the context of DR-DQ haplotypes. Since ~ 80% of DQB1*02 alleles are linked to the DR3-DQ2 haplotype, the association might be coincidental. However, the DQB1*02:02-associated DR7-DQ2 haplotype was also overrepresented in alloimmunized women, suggesting a role for this allele or haplotype in HPA-1a alloimmunization. As DRB4*01:01 is predominantly associated with the DR7-DQ2 haplotype in HPA-1a-alloimmunized individuals, the reported association with FNAIT may be coincidental. Typing for DR-DQ haplotypes revealed important genetic associations with HPA-1a alloimmunization not evident from typing individual alleles, and the presence of different DRB3-associated DR-DQ haplotypes showed different prevalence of HPA-1a alloimmunization.

Implications of HLA diversity among regions for bone marrow donor searches in Japan. HLA 2020; 96:24-42.

Abstract
Japan is an island country, and the Japanese people have had minimal genetic exchange with other ethnolinguistic groups. Consequently, the population is highly uniform and has limited HLA diversity relative to people from other countries. However, Japan has three ethnolinguistic groups, and HLA distributions differ depending on geographic region. To collect an HLA-rich variety of bone marrow bank donor registrants, it is essential to know the precise distribution of HLA in Japan. We analyzed HLA alleles and haplotypes based on HLA information of 177 041 bone marrow donor registrants. Registrants were grouped depending on the prefecture and region (a group of prefectures) as commonly used in Japan. The prefectures did not show the same distributions, but the tendency was similar for each region. We found that Okinawa Prefecture and the mainland can be clearly divided as haplotypes: [A*24:02-C*01:02-B*54:01-DRB1*04:05] and [A*24:02-C*01:02-B*59:01-DRB1*04:05] were typically found in Okinawa (P = .02, P < .001). Moreover, these types were found almost exclusively in Japan and Korea. Donor registration centers of the Japan Marrow Donor Program are currently located in all prefectures. It is essential to deploy registration centers to collect registrants with a large variety of HLA types covering all of Japan.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT Genetic association studies can determine the effect size of gene loci on disease outcomes. In the arena of HBV infections, HLA alleles that associate with HBV outcomes can be used in clinical management decisions. This potential translational utility can shape the future management of HBV infections by identifying at-risk individuals and tailoring medical interventions accordingly. This precision medicine motif is currently only a nascent idea. However, it has stakes that may well override the current "wait and see" approach of clinical management of HBV infections. Here, we have identified HLA alleles associated with HBV outcome in a Ghanaian cohort. Our findings support the motif that HLA alleles associate with HBV outcome along geo-ethnic lines. This buttresses the need for further population pivoted studies. In the long term, our findings add to efforts towards the development of an HLA molecular-based algorithm for predicting HBV infection outcomes.

Improved access to better HLA-matched hematopoietic cells for allogeneic transplant: analysis of donors and cord blood units selected for Canadian patients in 2018. Transfusion 2020; 60:1508-1518. [PMID: 32319688 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) often require use of an unrelated donor or cord blood unit (CBU). An understanding of evolving practices in graft selection is needed for optimization of donor recruitment and cord blood collection. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Each donor workup (WU) requested in 2018 involving a Canadian (CDN) patient and unique donor product or CBU was reviewed (n = 598). Degree of HLA match; product origin (domestic or international [INT]); and non-HLA factors including donor age, sex, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and ABO compatibility were analyzed for WUs that proceeded to transplant (n = 414). We also analyzed changes compared to a similar analysis performed in 2013. RESULTS The majority of transplants used matched unrelated donors (MUDs; n = 323; 78%) and were most often young (≤35 years), male, INT donors (n = 136). The proportion of transplants involving MUDs, as opposed to mismatched unrelated donors or CBUs, increased by 12.4% compared with 2013. When young, male, CDN MUDs were identified in patient search reports but not selected, CMV mismatching and ABO incompatibility were most likely to have influenced the decision to use an INT MUD. Consistent with global trends, CBU transplants decreased compared to 2013; however, the degree of HLA matching improved significantly, and 27% of transplanted CBUs were procured from the Canadian Blood Services Cord Blood Bank. CONCLUSIONS Access to MUDs and better HLA-matched CBUs by CDN patients has increased since 2013. Ongoing recruitment of young registrants and cord blood donors with diverse HLA haplotypes will support selection of donors with optimal non-HLA characteristics.

Abstract
The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) for stem cell donor registry typing has contributed to faster identification of compatible stem cell donors. However, the successful search for a matched unrelated donor for some patient groups is still affected by their ethnicity. In this study, DNA samples from 714 National Health Service (NHS) Cord Blood Bank donors were typed for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB345, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1 and -DPB1 by NGS. Analysis of the ethnic diversity showed a high level of diversity, with the cohort comprising of 62.3% European and 37.7% of either multi-ethnic or non-European donors, of which 12.3% were multi-ethnic. The HLA diversity was further confirmed using PyPop analysis, 405 distinct alleles were observed in the overall NHS-CBB cohort, of which 37 alleles are non-CWD, including A*31:14N, B*35:68:02, C*14:23 and DQA1*05:10. Furthermore, HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DPA1 analysis showed 12% and 10%, respectively, of the alleles currently submitted to IMGT, confirming further diversity of the NHS-CBB cohort. The application of 11 HLA loci resolution by NGS revealed a high level of diversity in the NHS-CBB cohort. The incorporation of this data coupled with ethnicity data could lead to improved donor selection, contributing to better clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract
Here we propose a vaccination strategy for SARS-CoV-2 based on identification of both highly conserved regions of the virus and newly acquired adaptations that are presented by MHC class I and II across the vast majority of the population, are highly dissimilar from the human proteome, and are predicted B cell epitopes. We present 65 peptide sequences that we expect to result in a safe and effective vaccine which can be rapidly tested in DNA, mRNA, or synthetic peptide constructs. These include epitopes that are contained within evolutionarily divergent regions of the spike protein reported to increase infectivity through increased binding to the ACE2 receptor, and within a novel furin cleavage site thought to increase membrane fusion. This vaccination strategy specifically targets unique vulnerabilities of SARS-CoV-2 and should engage a robust adaptive immune response in the vast majority of the human population.

Abstract
In renal transplantation, polymorphic amino acids on mismatched donor HLA molecules can lead to the induction of de novo donor‐specific antibodies (DSA), which are associated with inferior graft survival. To ultimately prevent de novo DSA formation without unnecessarily precluding transplants it is essential to define which polymorphic amino acid mismatches can actually induce an antibody response. To facilitate this, we developed a user‐friendly software program that establishes HLA class I and class II compatibility between donor and recipient on the amino acid level. HLA epitope mismatch algorithm (HLA‐EMMA) is a software program that compares simultaneously the HLA class I and class II amino acid sequences of the donor with the HLA amino acid sequences of the recipient and determines the polymorphic solvent accessible amino acid mismatches that are likely to be accessible to B cell receptors. Analysis can be performed for a large number of donor‐recipient pairs at once. As proof of principle, a previously described study cohort of 191 lymphocyte immunotherapy recipients was analysed with HLA‐EMMA and showed a higher frequency of DSA formation with higher number of solvent accessible amino acids mismatches. Overall, HLA‐EMMA can be used to analyse compatibility on amino acid level between donor and recipient HLA class I and class II simultaneously for large cohorts to ultimately determine the most immunogenic amino acid mismatches.

Abstract
MOTIVATION The HLA system plays a pivotal role in both clinical applications and immunology research. Typing HLA genes in patient and donor is indeed required in hematopoietic stem cell and solid-organ transplantation, and the histocompatibility complex region exhibits countless genetic associations with immune-related pathologies. Since the discovery of HLA antigens, the HLA system nomenclature and typing methods have constantly evolved, which leads to difficulties in using data generated with older methodologies. RESULTS Here, we present Easy-HLA, a web-based software suite designed to facilitate analysis and gain knowledge from HLA typing, regardless of nomenclature or typing method. Easy-HLA implements a computational and statistical method of HLA haplotypes inference based on published reference populations containing over 600 000 haplotypes to upgrade missing or partial HLA information: 'HLA-Upgrade' tool infers high-resolution HLA typing and 'HLA-2-Haplo' imputes haplotype pairs and provides additional functional annotations (e.g. amino acids and KIR ligands). We validated both tools using two independent cohorts (total n = 2500). For HLA-Upgrade, we reached a prediction accuracy of 92% from low- to high-resolution of European genotypes. We observed a 96% call rate and 76% accuracy with HLA-2-Haplo European haplotype pairs prediction. In conclusion, Easy-HLA tools facilitate large-scale immunogenetic analysis and promotes the multi-faceted HLA expertise beyond allelic associations by providing new functional immunogenomics parameters. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Easy-HLA is a web application freely available (free account) at: https://hla.univ-nantes.fr.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in cancer immunotherapy, the process of immunoediting early in tumorigenesis remains obscure. Here, we employ a mathematical model that utilizes the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data to elucidate the contribution of individual mutations and HLA alleles to the immunoediting process. We find that common cancer mutations including BRAF-V600E and KRAS-G12D are predicted to bind none of the common HLA alleles, and are thus “immunogenically silent” in the human population. We identify regions of proteins that are not presented by HLA at a population scale, coinciding with frequently mutated hotspots in cancer, and other protein regions broadly presented across the population in which few mutations occur. We also find that 9/29 common HLA alleles contribute disproportionately to the immunoediting of early oncogenic mutations. These data provide insights into immune evasion of common driver mutations and a molecular basis for the association of particular HLA genotypes with cancer susceptibility.

Diversity of HLA Class I and Class II blocks and conserved extended haplotypes in Lacandon Mayans. Sci Rep 2020; 10:3248. [PMID: 32094421 PMCID: PMC7039995 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58897-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Here we studied HLA blocks and haplotypes in a group of 218 Lacandon Maya Native American using a high-resolution next generation sequencing (NGS) method. We assessed the genetic diversity of HLA class I and class II in this population, and determined the most probable ancestry of Lacandon Maya HLA class I and class II haplotypes. Importantly, this Native American group showed a high degree of both HLA homozygosity and linkage disequilibrium across the HLA region and also lower class II HLA allelic diversity than most previously reported populations (including other Native American groups). Distinctive alleles present in the Lacandon population include HLA-A*24:14 and HLA-B*40:08. Furthermore, in Lacandons we observed a high frequency of haplotypes containing the allele HLA-DRB1*04:11, a relatively frequent allele in comparison with other neighboring indigenous groups. The specific demographic history of the Lacandon population including inbreeding, as well as pathogen selection, may have elevated the frequencies of a small number of HLA class II alleles and DNA blocks. To assess the possible role of different selective pressures in determining Native American HLA diversity, we evaluated the relationship between genetic diversity at HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 and pathogen richness for a global dataset and for Native American populations alone. In keeping with previous studies of such relationships we included distance from Africa as a covariate. After correction for multiple comparisons we did not find any significant relationship between pathogen diversity and HLA genetic diversity (as measured by polymorphism information content) in either our global dataset or the Native American subset of the dataset. We found the expected negative relationship between genetic diversity and distance from Africa in the global dataset, but no relationship between HLA genetic diversity and distance from Africa when Native American populations were considered alone.

Transfusion 2020; 60:940-946. [PMID: 32086954 PMCID: PMC7317777 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 12/22/2019] [Accepted: 12/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients refractory for platelet transfusions benefit from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐matched platelet transfusions. Differences in ethnic background of patients and donors could hamper the availability of sufficient numbers of HLA‐matched donors for all patients. We evaluated our HLA‐matched donor program and explored the role of ethnic background of patients related to the number of available donors. METHODS We performed a cohort study among consecutive patients who received HLA‐matched platelet concentrates in the Netherlands between 1994 and 2017. The number of available matched donors was determined per patient. Haplotypes were constructed from genotypes with computer software (PyPop). Based on haplotypes, HaploStats, an algorithm from the National Marrow Donor Program, was used to assess the most likely ethnic background for patients with 5 or fewer and 30 or more donors. RESULTS HLA typing was available for 19,478 donors in September 2017. A total of 1206 patients received 12,350 HLA‐matched transfusions. A median of 83 (interquartile range, 18‐266) donors were available per patient. For 95 (10.3%) patients, 5 or fewer donors were available. These patients were more likely to have an African American background, whereas patients with 30 or more donors were more often from Caucasian origin, compared with Caucasian origin for patients with 30 donors. CONCLUSION Adequate transfusion support could be guaranteed for most but not all refractory patients. More non‐Caucasian donors are required to ensure the availability of HLA‐matched donors for all patients in the Netherlands.

A blueprint for electronic utilization of ambiguous molecular HLA typing data in organ allocation systems and virtual crossmatch. Hum Immunol 2020; 81:65-72. [PMID: 32057520 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2020.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Virtual crossmatch (VXM) compares a transplant candidate's unacceptable antigens to the HLA typing of the donor before an organ offer is accepted and, in selected cases, supplant a prospective physical crossmatch. However, deceased donor typing can be ambiguous, leading to uncertainty in compatibility prediction. We have developed a prototype web application that utilizes ambiguous HLA molecular typing data to predict which unacceptable antigens are present in the donor HLA genotype as donor-specific antibodies (DSA). The application compares a candidate's listed unacceptable antigens to computed probabilities of all possible two-field donor HLA alleles and UNOS antigens. The VIrtual CrossmaTch for mOleculaR HLA typing (VICTOR) tool can be accessed at http://www.transplanttoolbox.org/victor. We reanalyzed historical VXM cases where a transplant center's manual interpretation of molecular typing results influenced offer evaluation. We found that interpretation of ambiguous donor molecular typing data using imputation could one day influence VXM decisions if the DSA predictions were rigorously validated. Standardized interpretation of molecular typing data, if applied to the match run, could also change which offers are made. HLA typing ambiguity has been an underappreciated source of immunological risk in organ transplantation. The VICTOR tool can serve as a testbed for development of allocation policies with the aim of decreasing offers refused due to HLA incompatibility.

Abstract
Prediction of HLA epitopes is important for the development of cancer immunotherapies and vaccines. However, current prediction algorithms have limited predictive power, in part because they were not trained on high-quality epitope datasets covering a broad range of HLA alleles. To enable prediction of endogenous HLA class I-associated peptides across a large fraction of the human population, we used mass spectrometry to profile >185,000 peptides eluted from 95 HLA-A, -B, -C and -G mono-allelic cell lines. We identified canonical peptide motifs per HLA allele, unique and shared binding submotifs across alleles and distinct motifs associated with different peptide lengths. By integrating these data with transcript abundance and peptide processing, we developed HLAthena, providing allele-and-length-specific and pan-allele-pan-length prediction models for endogenous peptide presentation. These models predicted endogenous HLA class I-associated ligands with 1.5-fold improvement in positive predictive value compared with existing tools and correctly identified >75% of HLA-bound peptides that were observed experimentally in 11 patient-derived tumor cell lines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate associations of human leukocyte antigen variants with migraine or headache in hospital and population-based settings. METHODS The case-control study population, aged 30-70, included 605 clinic-based migraine patients in a medical center and 8449 population-based participants in Taiwan Biobank (TWB). Clinic-based cases were ascertained by neurologists. Participants in Taiwan Biobank were interviewed by a structured questionnaire including headache and migraine history; among them, 2394 had headache or migraine history while 6055 were free of headache and served as controls. All subjects were genotyped by Axiom Genome-Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Arrays and imputed for eight classical human leukocyte antigen genes. Human leukocyte antigen frequencies were compared between clinic-based and self-reported patients and controls. We utilized likelihood ratio tests to examine human leukocyte antigen-disease associations and logistic regressions to estimate the effect of human leukocyte antigen alleles on migraine. RESULTS Human leukocyte antigen-B and C showed significant associations with clinic-based migraine (q-value < 0.05). Human leukocyte antigen-B*39:01, human leukocyte antigen-B*51:01, human leukocyte antigen-B*58:01 and human leukocyte antigen-C*03:02 were significantly associated with migraine, with age and sex-adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) of 1.80 (1.28-2.53), 1.50 (1.15-1.97), 1.36 (1.14-1.62) and 1.36 (1.14-1.62), correspondingly. Clinic-based migraineurs carrying human leukocyte antigen-B*58:01 or human leukocyte antigen-C*03:02 had 1.63 (1.11-2.39) -fold likelihood to have chronic migraine with medication-overuse headache compared to episodic migraine. However, no human leukocyte antigen genes were associated with self-reported headache or migraine in the community. CONCLUSIONS Human leukocyte antigen class I genetic variants are positively associated with risk of clinic-based migraine but not self-reported migraine or headache and may contribute to migraine chronification and medication overuse.

Abstract
The Predicted Indirectly Recognizable HLA Epitopes (PIRCHE) score quantifies the number of PIRCHEs in patient-donor pairs and represents an in silico measure of indirect alloreactivity. This biologic process is defined as T cell recognition of epitopes derived from mismatched, allogeneic HLA peptides that are subsequently presented by shared HLA molecules. Its association with clinical outcome has not been examined in haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy). We hypothesized that the PIRCHE score (PS) would correlate with indirect alloreactivity and predict graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risk and the incidence of relapse after haplo-HCT with PTCy. We retrospectively analyzed 148 patients who underwent peripheral blood stem cell T cell-replete haplo-HCT with PTCy at a single center between 2009 and 2016. For each patient-donor pair, the PS was calculated using the PIRCHE online matching tool. PSs were categorized by class and vector. The median class I graft-versus-host (GVH) PS was 11 (range, 0 to 56), and the median class I host-versus-graft (HVG) PS was 10 (range, 0 to 51). Class I GVH PS was associated with increased risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.03 per PS unit increase; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.05; P= .008) but not of chronic GVHD or relapse. Our data show that use of the PS is a novel strategy for predicting clinical outcome in haplo-HCT; further studies using registry data and prospective cohorts are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the HLA haplotype frequencies and genetic profiles of the Kuwaiti population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Whole venous blood was obtained from 595 healthy, unrelated Kuwaiti volunteers. The study population was genotyped for HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) loci using sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) probe-based hybridization and high-resolution HLA genotyping. Haplotype frequencies were estimated using an implementation of the expectation maximization algorithm that resolves both phase and allelic ambiguity. The Kuwaiti population was compared with other populations from the US National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), by running a principal component analysis (PCA) on the relevant haplotype frequencies. RESULTS The most common HLA class I alleles in Kuwait were HLA-A*02:01g, HLA-C*06:02g, and HLA-B*50:01g with frequencies of 16, 14, and 12%, respectively. The most common HLA class II alleles in Kuwait were HLA-DQB1*02:01g and HLA-DRB1*07:01 with frequencies of 29.7 and 16.5%, respectively. The most common Kuwaiti haplotype observed was HLA-A*02:01g∼HLA-C*06:02g∼HLA-B*50:01g∼HLA-DRB1*07:01∼HLA-DQB1*02:01g at a frequency of 2.3%. The PCA demonstrated close genetic proximity of the Kuwaiti population with Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and North African populations in the NMDP. CONCLUSION Identifying the haplotype diversity in the Kuwaiti population will contribute to the selection of an HLA-match for HSCT, disease associations, pharmacogenomics, and knowledge of pop-ulation HLA diversity.

Abstract
Human platelet antibody (HPA) detection is necessary for the diagnosis and therapeutic decisions for refractoriness to platelet transfusions, post transfusion purpura and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. In the last four to five decades many new developments, both in knowledge and methods, have increased the quality of platelet serology. However, the quest for the optimal antibody detection method(s) encountered, sometimes unexpected, difficulties. In this review the various aspects concerning platelet antibody test methods and detection of platelet antibodies both for the diagnostic and screening setting are discussed.

Abstract
Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is the platelet counterpart of haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn. Among Caucasians, around 80 % of FNAIT cases and some of the most severe cases, are caused by alloantibodies against the human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a). For around 3 decades it has been known that almost all HPA-1a-immunised women are HLA-DRB3*01:01 positive. The HLA molecule encoded by the HLA-DRA/DRB3*01:01 genes seems to be of crucial importance for initiating the immune response against HPA-1a. The HLA-DRB3*01:01 carrier status is not only important as a risk factor for immunisation, but does also have a significant impact on foetal/neonatal outcome. The possible role of HLA-DRB3*01:01 typing as tool for risk stratification is discussed.

Abstract
Immune responses to therapeutic proteins and peptides can adversely affect their safety and efficacy; consequently, immunogenicity risk-assessments are part of the development, licensure and clinical use of these products. In most cases the development of anti-drug antibodies is mediated by T cells which requires antigen presentation by Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II (MHCII) molecules (also called Human Leucocyte Antigen, HLA in humans). Immune responses to many protein therapeutics are thus HLA-restricted and it is important that the distribution of HLA variants used in the immunogenicity assessments provides adequate coverage of the target population. Due to biases inherent to the collection of samples in a blood bank or donor pool, simple random sampling will not achieve a truly representative sample of the population of interest. To help select a donor cohort we introduce SampPick, an implementation of simulated annealing which optimizes cohort selection to closely match the frequency distribution of a target population or subpopulation. With inputs of a target background frequency distribution for a population and a set of available, HLA-typed donors, the algorithm will iteratively create a cohort of donors of a user selected size that will closely match the target population rather than a random sample. In addition to optimizing the HLA types of donor cohorts, the software presented can be used to optimize donor cohorts for any other biallelic or monoallelic trait.

Abstract
To clarify the immunogenetic background of patients with immunoglobulin G (IgG)4 anti-neurofascin 155 (NF155) antibody-positive chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), we genotyped the extended human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes in 22 Japanese patients with this disorder and compared them with those of healthy Japanese controls. All IgG4 anti-NF155 antibody-positive CIDP patients exclusively carried either HLA-DRB1*15:01-DRB5*01:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*06:02 or -(A*24:02)-B*52:01-C*12:02-DRB1*15:02-DRB5*01:02-DQA1*01:03-DQB1*06:01, resulting in significantly increased HLA-DRB1*15, -DRB1*15:01, -DQB1*06:01/06:02, -DQB1*06:02, and -DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02 frequencies compared with healthy Japanese controls. These findings indicate the involvement of specific HLA class II molecules in the pathomechanisms of IgG4 anti-NF155 antibody-positive CIDP.

Abstract
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is the most polymorphic region in humans. Anthropologists use HLA to trace populations' migration and evolution. However, recent admixture between populations can mask the ancestral haplotype frequency distribution. We present a statistical method based on high-resolution HLA haplotype frequencies to resolve population admixture using a non-negative matrix factorization formalism and validated using haplotype frequencies from 56 world populations. The result is a minimal set of source components (SCs) decoding roughly 90% of the total variance in the studied admixtures. These SCs agree with the geographical distribution, phylogenies, and recent admixture events of the studied groups. With the growing population of multi-ethnic individuals, or individuals that do not report race/ethnic information, the HLA matching process for stem-cell and solid organ transplants is becoming more challenging. The presented algorithm provides a framework that facilitates the breakdown of highly admixed populations into SCs, which can be used to better match the rapidly growing population of multi-ethnic individuals worldwide.

Epitopes as characterized by antibody-verified eplet mismatches determine risk of kidney transplant loss. Kidney Int 2019; 97:778-785.

Abstract
To optimize strategies that mitigate the risk of graft loss associated with HLA incompatibility, we evaluated whether sequence defined HLA targets (eplets) that result in donor-specific antibodies are associated with transplant outcomes. To define this, we fit multivariable Cox proportional hazard models in a cohort of 118 382 United States first kidney transplant recipients to assess risk of death-censored graft failure by increments of ten antibody-verified eplet mismatches. To verify robustness of our findings, we conducted sensitivity analysis in this United States cohort and assessed the role of antibody-verified eplet mismatches as autonomous predictors of transplant glomerulopathy in an independent Canadian cohort. Antibody-verified eplet mismatches were found to be independent predictors of death-censored graft failure with hazard ratios of 1.231 [95% confidence interval 1.195, 1. 268], 1.268 [1.231, 1.305] and 1.411 [1.331, 1.495] for Class I (HLA-A, B, and C), -DRB1 and -DQB1 loci, respectively. To address linkage disequilibrium between HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1, we fit models in a subcohort without HLA-DQB1 eplet mismatches and found hazard ratios for death-censored graft failure of 1.384 [1.293, 1.480] for each additional antibody-verified HLA-DRB1 eplet mismatch. In a subcohort without HLA-DRB1 mismatches, the hazard ratio was 1.384 [1.072, 1.791] for each additional HLA-DQB1 mismatch. In the Canadian cohort, antibody-verified eplet mismatches were independent predictors of transplant glomerulopathy with hazard ratios of 5.511 [1.442, 21.080] for HLA-DRB1 and 3.640 [1.574, 8.416] for -DRB1/3/4/5. Thus, donor-recipient matching for specific HLA eplets appears to be a feasible and clinically justifiable strategy to mitigate risk of graft loss.

Abstract
HLA disparity is traditionally measured at the antigen or allele level, and its impact on haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) with high-dose posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is unclear. To the best of our knowledge, the relationship between HLA eplet-derived epitope mismatch (EM) and clinical outcome has not been examined in haplo-HCT. We retrospectively analyzed 148 patients who received a peripheral blood, T-cell-replete haplo-HCT with PTCy at a single center. HLA EM was quantified using an HLAMatchmaker-based method and was stratified by class and vector. The primary outcome was incidence of relapse. The total number of mismatched epitopes (MEs) per patient-donor pair in our patient population ranged from 0 to 51 (median, 24) in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction and 0 to 47 (median, 24) in the host-versus-graft (HVG) direction. Higher HLA class II EM in the GVH direction was associated with a significantly reduced risk of relapse (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.952 per ME; P = .002) and improved relapse-free survival (adjusted HR, 0.974 per ME; P = .020). Higher HLA class II EM in the HVG direction was associated with longer time to neutrophil (adjusted HR, 0.974 per ME; P = .013) and platelet (adjusted HR, 0.961 per ME; P = .001) engraftment. In peripheral blood haplo-HCT patients, increased HLA EM was associated with a protective effect on the risk of relapse in the GVH direction but a negative effect on time to count recovery in the HVG direction. HLA EM based on the HLA Matchmaker represents a novel strategy to predict clinical outcome in haplo-HCT.

Abstract
Since their inception, the International HLA & Immunogenetics Workshops (IHIW) served as a collaborative platform for exchange of specimens, reference materials, experiences and best practices. In this report we present a subset of the results of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes in families tested by next generation sequencing (NGS) under the 17th IHIW. We characterized 961 haplotypes in 921 subjects belonging to 250 families from 8 countries (Argentina, Austria, Egypt, Jamaica, Germany, Greece, Kuwait, and Switzerland). These samples were tested in a single core laboratory in a high throughput fashion using 6 different reagents/software platforms. Families tested included patients evaluated clinically as transplant recipients (kidney and hematopoietic cell transplant) and their respective family members. We identified 486 HLA alleles at the following loci HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, -DPB1 (77, 115, 68, 69, 10, 6, 4, 44, 31, 20 and 42 alleles, respectively). We also identified nine novel alleles with polymorphisms in coding regions. This approach of testing samples from multiple laboratories across the world in different stages of technology implementation in a single core laboratory may be useful for future international workshops. Although data presented may not be reflective of allele and haplotype frequencies in the countries to which the families belong, they represent an extensive collection of 3rd and 4th field resolution level 11-locus haplotype associations of 486 alleles identified in families from 8 countries.

Abstract
Human CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in inducing potent immune responses. T cells are activated and stimulated by peptides presented in human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-class II molecules. These HLA-class II molecules typically present peptides of between 12 and 20 amino acids in length. The region that interacts with the HLA molecule, designated as the peptide-binding core, is highly conserved in the residues which anchor the peptide to the molecule. In addition, as these peptides are the product of proteolytic cleavages, certain conserved residues may be expected at the N- and C-termini outside the binding core. To study whether similar conserved residues are present in different cell types, potentially harbouring different proteolytic enzymes, the ligandomes of HLA-DRB1*03:01/HLA-DRB > 1 derived from two different cell types (dendritic cells and EBV-transformed B cells) were identified with mass spectrometry and the binding core and N- and C-terminal residues of a total of 16,568 peptides were analysed using the frequencies of the amino acids in the human proteome. Similar binding motifs were found as well as comparable conservations in the N- and C-terminal residues. Furthermore, the terminal conservations of these ligandomes were compared to the N- and C-terminal conservations of the ligandome acquired from dendritic cells homozygous for HLA-DRB1*04:01. Again, comparable conservations were evident with only minor differences. Taken together, these data show that there are conservations in the terminal residues of peptides, presumably the result of the activity of proteases involved in antigen processing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the allele and haplotype frequencies of HLA-A, -B, -DRB1, and -DQB1 in a self-declared White population from the north and northwestern state of Paraná, southern Brazil, and compare the data with populations worldwide. The genotyping was performed with a group of 641 individuals, based on PCR-SSO and -SSP methods, and allele and haplotype frequencies were estimated. Comparisons with European, African, Asian, and Amerindian populations were performed. The most frequent allelic groups, alleles and haplotypes were: HLA-A*02, HLA-B*35, HLA-DRB1*07:01, HLA-DQB1*03:01, and HLA-A*01/B*08/DRB1*03:01. The results reinforced a predominance of a European composition in the self-declared White population from the north and northwestern Paraná.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The waiting time for a deceased donor kidney in the Netherlands is approximately 3 years. Mortality among patients on the waiting list is high. The aim of the PROCARE consortium (PROfiling Consortium on Antibody Repertoire and Effector functions) was to decrease the waiting time by providing a matching algorithm yielding a prolonged graft survival and less HLA-immunization compared with the currently used Eurotransplant Kidney allocation system. In this study, 6097 kidney transplants carried out between January 1995 and December 2005 were re-examined with modern laboratory techniques and insights that were not available during that time period. In this way, we could identify potential new parameters that can be used to improve the matching algorithm and prolong graft survival. All eight University Medical Centers in the Netherlands participated in this multicenter study. To improve the matching algorithm, we used as central hypothesis that the combined presence of class-I and -II single-antigen bead (SAB)-defined donor-specific HLA antibodies (DSA) prior to transplantation, non-HLA antibodies, the number of B- and/or T-cell epitopes recognized on donor HLA, and specific polymorphisms in effector mechanisms of IgG were associated with an increased risk for graft failure. The purpose of this article is to relate the results obtained from the PROCARE consortium study to other studies published in recent years. The clinical relevance of SAB-defined DSA, complement-fixing DSA, non-HLA antibodies, and the effector functions of (non)-HLA-antibodies will be discussed.

Sacchi N, Castagnetta M, Miotti V, Garbarino L, Gallina A. High-resolution analysis of the HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 alleles and national and regional haplotype frequencies based on 120 926 volunteers from the Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. HLA 2019; 94:285-295. [PMID: 31207125 PMCID: PMC6771744 DOI: 10.1111/tan.13613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2018] [Revised: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 06/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
HLA genes are highly polymorphic and structurally complex. They are located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6, and the frequency of alleles and haplotypes varies widely among human populations. In this paper, we calculated the allele and haplotype frequencies using the HLA data of more than 120 000 Italian unrelated bone marrow donors enrolled in the national registry (IBMDR) and typed them with a high-resolution (HR) method for the HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 alleles. The allele frequency data were obtained by manual counting; haplotype frequencies were calculated using the expectation maximisation (EM) algorithm. The total numbers of observed alleles were 226 for HLA-A, 343 for HLA-B, 201 for HLA-C and 210 for HLA-DRB1, which account for 5.4%, 6.7%, 5.2% and 8.5%, respectively, of each locus allele (IPD-IMGT/HLA Database Release 3.32, April 2018). The three most frequent Italian haplotypes were HLA-A*01:01~B*08:01~C*07:01~DRB1*03:01 (2.5%), A*02:01~B*18:01~C*07:01~DRB1*11:04 (1.1%) and A*30:01~B*13:02~C*06:02~DRB1*07:01 (1.1%). Moreover, for a relevant subset of the examined population (>100 000 individuals), the birthplace was available, and thus, we grouped the frequency data based on the corresponding Italian geographic areas, describing the HLA specificity of the Italian regional populations. The haplotype frequencies were also compared between national and regional data, and we observed remarkable differences in the regional haplotype frequencies, particularly in Sardinia. This study represents a valid tool to identify a more efficient haematopoietic stem cell unrelated donor recruitment and selection strategy, as well as for population genetic and HLA-disease association fields.

Abstract
Somatic frameshift mutations in the calreticulin (CALR) gene are key drivers of cellular transformation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). All patients carrying these mutations (CALR + MPN) share an identical sequence in the C-terminus of the mutated CALR protein (mut-CALR), with the potential for utility as a shared neoantigen. Here, we demonstrate that although a subset of patients with CALR + MPN develop specific T-cell responses against the mut-CALR C-terminus, PD-1 or CTLA4 expression abrogates the full complement of responses. Significantly, blockade of PD-1 and CLTA4 ex vivo by mAbs and of PD-1 in vivo by pembrolizumab administration restores mut-CALR-specific T-cell immunity in some patients with CALR + MPN. Moreover, mut-CALR elicits antigen-specific responses from both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, confirming its broad applicability as an immunogen. Collectively, these results establish mut-CALR as a shared, MPN-specific neoantigen and inform the design of novel immunotherapies targeting mut-CALR. SIGNIFICANCE: Current treatment modalities for MPN are not effective in eliminating malignant cells. Here, we show that mutations in the CALR gene, which drive transformation in MPN, elicit T-cell responses that can be further enhanced by checkpoint blockade, suggesting immunotherapies could be employed to eliminate CALR + malignant cells in MPN.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin is a prevalent cause of the severe hypersensitivity syndrome drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), which leads to significant morbidity and mortality and commonly occurs in the setting of combination antibiotic therapy, affecting future treatment choices. Variations in HLA class I in particular have been associated with serious T cell-mediated adverse drug reactions, which has led to preventive screening strategies for some drugs. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether variation in the HLA region is associated with vancomycin-induced DRESS. METHODS Probable vancomycin-induced DRESS cases were matched 1:2 with tolerant control subjects based on sex, race, and age by using BioVU, Vanderbilt's deidentified electronic health record database. Associations between DRESS and carriage of HLA class I and II alleles were assessed by means of conditional logistic regression. An extended sample set from BioVU was used to conduct a time-to-event analysis of those exposed to vancomycin with and without the identified HLA risk allele. RESULTS Twenty-three subjects met the inclusion criteria for vancomycin-associated DRESS. Nineteen (82.6%) of 23 cases carried HLA-A*32:01 compared with 0 (0%) of 46 of the matched vancomycin-tolerant control subjects (P = 1 × 10-8) and 6.3% of the BioVU population (n = 54,249, P = 2 × 10-16). Time-to-event analysis of DRESS development during vancomycin treatment among the HLA-A*32:01-positive group indicated that 19.2% had DRESS and did so within 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS HLA-A*32:01 is strongly associated with vancomycin-induced DRESS in a population of predominantly European ancestry. HLA-A*32:01 testing could improve antibiotic safety, help implicate vancomycin as the causal drug, and preserve future treatment options with coadministered antibiotics.

Abstract
The 17th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop (IHIW) conducted a project entitled "The Study of Haplotypes in Families by NGS HLA". We investigated the HLA haplotypes of 1017 subjects in 263 nuclear families sourced from five US clinical immunogenetics laboratories, primarily as part of the evaluation of related donor candidates for hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation. The parents in these families belonged to five broad groups - African (72 parents), Asian (115), European (210), Hispanic (118) and "Other" (11). High-resolution HLA genotypes were generated for each subject using next-generation sequencing (NGS) HLA typing systems. We identified the HLA haplotypes in each family using HaplObserve, software that builds haplotypes in families by reviewing HLA allele segregation from parents to children. We calculated haplotype frequencies within each broad group, by treating the parents in each family as unrelated individuals. We also calculated standard measures of global linkage disequilibrium (LD) and conditional asymmetric LD for each ethnic group, and used untruncated and two-field allele names to investigate LD patterns. Finally we demonstrated the utility of consensus DNA sequences in identifying novel variants, confirming them using HLA allele segregation at the DNA sequence level.

High-resolution HLA allele and haplotype frequencies in majority and minority populations of Costa Rica and Nicaragua: Differential admixture proportions in neighboring countries. HLA 2019; 91:514-529.

Abstract
The HLA system shows the most extensive polymorphism in the human genome. Allelic and haplotypic frequencies of HLA genes vary dramatically across human populations. Due to a complex history of migration, populations in Latin America show a broad variety of admixture proportions, usually varying not only between countries, but also within countries. Knowledge of HLA allele and haplotype frequencies is essential for medical fields such as transplantation, but also serves as a means to assess genetic diversity and ancestry in human populations. Here, we have determined high-resolution HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies in a sample of 713 healthy subjects from three Mestizo populations, one population of African descent, and Amerindians of five different groups from Costa Rica and Nicaragua and compared their profiles to a large set of indigenous populations from Iberia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas. Our results show a great degree of allelic and haplotypic diversity within and across these populations, with most extended haplotypes being private. Mestizo populations show alleles and haplotypes of putative European, Amerindian, and Sub-Saharan African origin, albeit with differential proportions. Despite some degree of gene flow, Amerindians and Afro-descendants show great similarity to other Amerindian and West African populations, respectively. This is the first comprehensive study reporting high-resolution HLA diversity in Central America, and its results will shed light into the genetic history of this region while also supporting the development of medical programs for organ and stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a central component of the vertebrate immune system and hence evolves in the regime of a host-pathogen evolutionary race. The MHC is associated with quantitative traits which directly affect fitness and are subject to selection pressure. The evolution of haplotypes at the MHC HLA (HLA) locus is generally thought to be governed by selection for increased diversity that is manifested in overdominance and/or negative frequency-dependent selection (FDS). However, recently, a model combining purifying selection on haplotypes and balancing selection on alleles has been proposed. We compare the predictions of several population dynamics models of haplotype frequency evolution to the distributions derived from 6.59-million-donor HLA typings from the National Marrow Donor Program registry. We show that models that combine a multiplicative fitness function, extremely high haplotype discovery rates, and exponential fitness decay over time produce the best fit to the data for most of the analyzed populations. In contrast, overdominance is not supported, and population substructure does not explain the observed haplotype frequencies. Furthermore, there is no evidence of negative FDS. Thus, multiplicative fitness, rapid haplotype discovery, and rapid fitness decay appear to be the major factors shaping the HLA haplotype frequency distribution in the human population.

Abstract
Several studies have implicated HLA in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtype etiology. However, NHL patients indicated for stem cell transplants are underrepresented in these reports. We therefore evaluated the association between HLA and NHL subtypes among a transplant-indicated population. One thousand three hundred and sixty-six NHL patients HLA-typed and indicated for transplant at the City of Hope National Medical Center (Duarte, CA) were compared to 10,271 prospective donors. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for HLA haplotype and alleles, adjusted for sex and age. The HLA-A*0201∼C*0602∼B*1302∼DRB1*0701∼DQB1*0201 haplotype was significantly associated with follicular lymphoma (FL) risk among Caucasians. Several haplotypes were associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) risk among Caucasians, including the previously implicated DLBCL risk loci, HLA-B*0801. The HLA-A*0101 allele was also observed to be associated with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) risk. Our results support the association between previously reported susceptibility loci and FL and suggest potentially new DLBCL and MCL risk loci.

Abstract
High‐grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is a major form of ovarian epithelial tumor that is often diagnosed only at an advanced stage when it is already highly aggressive. We performed comprehensive genomic profiling using an analytically validated clinical next‐generation sequencing assay to identify genomic alterations in 450 cancer‐related genes in a cohort of 88 Chinese HGSOC patients. Overall, we detected 547 genomic alterations with an average of 6.2 alterations per tumor. Most of these HGSOC tumors had low tumor mutation burden and were microsatellite stable. Consistent with earlier studies, TP53 mutations were present in the majority (96.6%) of the tumors studied, and mutations in BRCA1/2 that affect DNA repair were also detected frequently in 20.5% of the tumors. However, we observed a 10.2% of mutated genes in the Ras/Raf pathway, all co‐occurring with TP53 mutations in the same tumor, which was unrecognized previously. Our results show that in HGSOC patients, there may be an unrecognized co‐occurrence of TP53 mutations with mutations in Ras/Raf pathway.

Abstract
The 17th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop (IHIW) organizers conducted a Pilot Study (PS) in which 13 laboratories (15 groups) participated to assess the performance of the various sequencing library preparation protocols, NGS platforms and software in use prior to the workshop. The organizers sent 50 cell lines to each of the 15 groups, scored the 15 independently generated sets of NGS HLA genotyping data, and generated "consensus" HLA genotypes for each of the 50 cell lines. Proficiency Testing (PT) was subsequently organized using four sets of 24 cell lines, selected from 48 of 50 PS cell lines, to validate the quality of NGS HLA typing data from the 34 participating IHIW laboratories. Completion of the PT program with a minimum score of 95% concordance at the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 loci satisfied the requirements to submit NGS HLA typing data for the 17th IHIW projects. Together, these PS and PT efforts constituted the 17th IHIW Quality Control project. Overall PT concordance rates for HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DPA1, HLA-DPB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DRB3, HLA-DRB4 and HLA-DRB5 were 98.1%, 97.0% and 98.1%, 99.0%, 98.6%, 98.8%, 97.6%, 96.0%, 99.1%, 90.0% and 91.7%, respectively. Across all loci, the majority of the discordance was due to allele dropout. The high cost of NGS HLA genotyping per experiment likely prevented the retyping of initially failed HLA loci. Despite the high HLA genotype concordance rates of the software, there remains room for improvement in the assembly of more accurate consensus DNA sequences by NGS HLA genotyping software.

Effective Suppression of HIV-1 Replication by Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Specific for Pol Epitopes in Conserved Mosaic Vaccine Immunogens. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.02142-18. [PMID: 30674626 PMCID: PMC6430542 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02142-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2018] [Accepted: 01/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
It is likely necessary for an effective AIDS vaccine to elicit CD8+ T cells with the ability to recognize circulating HIV-1 and suppress its replication. We recently developed novel bivalent mosaic T-cell vaccine immunogens composed of conserved regions of the Gag and Pol proteins matched to at least 80% globally circulating HIV-1 isolates. Nevertheless, it remains to be proven if vaccination with these immunogens can elicit T cells with the ability to suppress HIV-1 replication. It is well known that Gag-specific T cells can suppress HIV-1 replication more effectively than T cells specific for epitopes in other proteins. We recently identified 5 protective Gag epitopes in the vaccine immunogens. In this study, we identified T cells specific for 6 Pol epitopes present in the immunogens with strong abilities to suppress HIV-1 in vivo and in vitro. This study further encourages clinical testing of the conserved mosaic T-cell vaccine in HIV-1 prevention and cure. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) with strong abilities to suppress HIV-1 replication and recognize circulating HIV-1 could be key for both HIV-1 cure and prophylaxis. We recently designed conserved mosaic T-cell vaccine immunogens (tHIVconsvX) composed of 6 Gag and Pol regions. Since the tHIVconsvX vaccine targets conserved regions common to most global HIV-1 variants and employs a bivalent mosaic design, it is expected that it could be universal if the vaccine works. Although we recently demonstrated that CTLs specific for 5 Gag epitopes in the vaccine immunogens had strong ability to suppress HIV-1 replication in vitro and in vivo, it remains unknown whether the Pol region-specific CTLs are equally efficient. In this study, we investigated CTLs specific for Pol epitopes in the immunogens in treatment-naive Japanese patients infected with HIV-1 clade B. Overall, we mapped 20 reported and 5 novel Pol conserved epitopes in tHIVconsvX. Responses to 6 Pol epitopes were significantly associated with good clinical outcome, suggesting that CTLs specific for these 6 Pol epitopes had a strong ability to suppress HIV-1 replication in HIV-1-infected individuals. In vitro T-cell analyses further confirmed that the Pol-specific CTLs could effectively suppress HIV-1 replication. The present study thus demonstrated that the Pol regions of the vaccine contained protective epitopes. T-cell responses to the previous 5 Gag and present 6 Pol protective epitopes together also showed a strong correlation with better clinical outcome. These findings support the testing of the conserved mosaic vaccine in HIV-1 cure and prevention in humans.

Epitope load identifies kidney transplant recipients at risk of allosensitization following minimization of immunosuppression. Kidney Int 2019; 95:1471-1485. [PMID: 30955869 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2018.12.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2018] [Revised: 12/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatching and minimization of immunosuppression are two major risk factors for the development of de novo donor-specific antibodies, which are associated with reduced kidney graft survival. Antibodies do not recognize whole HLA antigens but rather individual epitopes, which are short sequences of amino acids in accessible positions. However, compatibility is still assessed by the simple count of mismatched HLA antigens. We hypothesized that the number of mismatched epitopes, or ("epitope load") would identify patients at the highest risk of developing donor specific antibodies following minimization of immunosuppression. We determined epitope load in 89 clinical trial participants who converted from cyclosporine to everolimus 3 months after kidney transplantation. Twenty-nine participants (32.6%) developed de novo donor specific antibodies. Compared to the number of HLA mismatches, epitope load was more strongly associated with the development of donor specific antibodies. Participants with an epitope load greater than 27 had a 12-fold relative risk of developing donor-specific antibodies compared to those with an epitope load below that threshold. Using that threshold, epitope load would have missed only one participant who subsequently developed donor specific antibodies, compared to 8 missed cases based on a 6-antigen mismatch. DQ7 was the most frequent antigenic target of donor specific antibodies in our population, and some DQ7 epitopes appeared to be more frequently involved than others. Assessing epitope load before minimizing immunosuppression may be a more efficient tool to identify patients at the highest risk of allosensitization.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) at the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DPA1, -DPB1, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DRB1 and -DRB3/4/5 loci was performed on 282 healthy unrelated individuals from different major regions of Spain. High-resolution HLA genotypes defined by full sequencing of class I loci and extended coverage of class II loci were obtained to determine allele frequencies and also to estimate extended haplotype frequencies. HLA alleles were typed at the highest resolution level (4-field level, 4FL); with exception of a minor deviation in HLA-DPA1, no statistically significant deviations from expected Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) proportions were observed for all other HLA loci. This study provides new 4FL-allele and -haplotype frequencies estimated for the first time in the Spanish population. Furthermore, our results describe extended haplotypes (including the less frequently typed HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DQA1 loci) and show distinctive haplotype associations found at 4FL-allele definition in this Spanish population study. The distinctive allelic and haplotypic diversity found at the 4FL reveals the high level of heterozygosity and specific haplotypic associations displayed that were not apparent at 2-field level (2FL). Overall, these results may contribute as a useful reference source for future population studies, for HLA-disease association studies as a healthy control group dataset and for improving donor recruitment strategies of bone marrow registries. HLA genotyping data of this Spanish population cohort was also included in the 17th International Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Workshop (IHIW) as part of the study of HLA diversity in unrelated worldwide populations using NGS.

Abstract
The highly polymorphic classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes display strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) that results in conserved multi-locus haplotypes. For unrelated individuals in defined populations, HLA haplotype frequencies can be estimated using the expectation-maximization (EM) method. Haplotypes can also be constructed using HLA allele segregation from nuclear families. It is straightforward to identify many HLA genotyping inconsistencies by visually reviewing HLA allele segregation in family members. It is also possible to identify potential crossover events when two or more children are available in a nuclear family. This process of visual inspection can be unwieldy, and we developed the "HaplObserve" program to standardize the process and automatically build haplotypes using family-based HLA allele segregation. HaplObserve facilitates systematically building haplotypes, and reporting potential crossover events. HLA Haplotype Validator (HLAHapV) is a program originally developed to impute chromosomal phase from genotype data using reference haplotype data. We updated and adapted HLAHapV to systematically compare observed and estimated haplotypes. We also used HLAHapV to identify haplotypes when uninformative HLA genotypes are present in families. Finally, we developed "pould", an R package that calculates haplotype frequencies, and estimates standard measures of global (locus-level) LD from both observed and estimated haplotypes.

Abstract
Aims Cell therapy can be used to repair functionally impaired organs and tissues in humans. Although autologous cells have an immunological advantage, it is difficult to obtain high cell numbers for therapy. Well‐characterized banks of cells with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are representative of a given population are thus needed. The present study investigates the HLA allele and haplotype frequencies in a cohort of heart failure (HF) patients. Methods and results We carried out the HLA typing and the allele and haplotype frequency analysis in 247 ambulatory HF patients. We determined HLA class I (A, B, and C) and class II (DRB1 and DQB1) using next‐generation sequencing technology. The allele frequencies were obtained using Python for Population Genomics (PyPop) software, and HLA haplotypes were estimated using HaploStats. A total of 30 HLA‐A, 56 HLA‐B, 23 HLA‐C, 36 HLA‐DRB1, and 15 HLA‐DQB1 distinct alleles were identified within the studied cohort. The genotype frequencies of all five HLA loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. We detected differences in HLA allele frequencies among patients when the etiological cause of HF was considered. There were a total of 494 five‐loci haplotypes, five of which were present six or more times. Moreover, the most common estimated HLA haplotype was HLA‐A*01:01, HLA‐B*08:01, HLA‐C*07:01, HLA‐DRB1*03:01, and HLA‐DQB1*02:01 (6.07% haplotype frequency per patient). Remarkably, the 11 most frequent haplotypes would cover 31.17% of the patients of the cohort in need of allogeneic cell therapy. Conclusions Our findings could be useful for improving allogeneic cell administration outcomes without concomitant immunosuppression.

HLA-A*02 repertoires in three defined population groups from North and Central India: Punjabi Khatries, Kashmiri Brahmins and Sahariya Tribe. HLA 2018; 93:16-23. [PMID: 30516033 DOI: 10.1111/tan.13447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2018] [Revised: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 11/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
The allelic family of HLA-A*02 with a repertoire of approximately 1022 alleles represents the predominant and most heterogeneous group at the HLA-A locus. This remarkable diversity signifies its evolutionary relevance. Its population-specific diversity is attributed to environmental factors and pathogen pressure and can be harnessed in biology and medicine, particularly in disease association and for HLA-based vaccination approaches. We therefore investigated the HLA-A*02 repertoire in two North Indian caste populations, viz Punjabi Khatries (PK, N = 250), Kashmiri Brahmins (KB, N = 160) and a Central Indian tribe Sahariya (ST, N = 100) using Luminex-based high-resolution rSSO method. When required, results were confirmed with high-resolution PCR-SSP and/or next-generation sequencing (NGS). In the three populations evaluated, HLA-A*02 was observed with an overall high phenotypic/allelic frequency, however, A*02 repertoire differed among them. A total of six alleles were observed (A*02:01, *02:03, *02:05, *02:06, *02:07 and *02:11) in the caste groups, compared with four (except *02:05 and *02:07) in the tribals. Our striking observation was the high occurrence of A*02:11 at the repertoire level (80.6% in ST, 39% in PK, 31.8% in KB). Globally, this allele is rare, observed with low frequencies in limited ethnic groups. The primordial A*02:01 allele, representative A*02 allele in most ethnicities was observed as the second predominant allele (PK = 27.3%, KB = 31.8% and ST = 11.9%). Extremely high occurrence of A*02:11 in ST may be representation of ancient Austro-Asiatic genetic pool. In caste populations, the observed A*02 repertoire may be a consequence of natural selection and/or admixture from different populations.
