Abstract
PURPOSE The degree of HLA compatibility between donor and recipient in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is critical. In this report, we describe an acute lymphoblastic leukemia case with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) encompassing the entire HLA. METHODS HLA molecular typing was performed on peripheral blood (PB) and buccal swabs (BS). Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was performed using a whole genome platform. RESULTS Typing results on PB sample collected during blast crisis demonstrated homozygosity at the-B,-C,-DR, and -DP loci. A BS sample demonstrated heterozygosity at the above loci. A subsequent PB sample drawn after count recovery confirmed heterozygosity. The CMA performed on PB samples collected during blast crisis revealed a large terminal region of copy-neutral LOH involving chromosome region 6p25.3p21.31, spanning approximately 33.32 Mb. The results of the CMA assay on sample collected after count recovery did not demonstrate LOH. CONCLUSIONS LOH at the HLA gene locus may significantly influence the donor search resulting in mistakenly choosing homozygous donors. We recommend confirming the HLA typing of recipients with hematological malignancies when homozygosity is detected at any locus by using BS samples, or alternatively from PB when remission is achieved.

Concurrent typing of over 4000 samples by long-range PCR amplicon-based NGS and rSSO revealed the need to verify NGS typing for HLA allelic dropouts. Hum Immunol 2021; 82:581-587. [PMID: 33980471 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2021.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA-matched donors significantly decreases the risks of graft-rejection and graft-versus-host disease. Long-range PCR- amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used as a standalone method in clinical laboratories to determine HLA compatibility for HSCT and solid-organ transplantation. We hypothesized that an allelic dropout is a frequent event in the long-range PCR amplicon-based NGS HLA typing method. To test the hypothesis, we typed 4,006 samples concurrently using a commercially available long-range PCR amplicon-based NGS-typing and short exon-specific amplicon-based reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide (rSSO) methods. The concordance between the NGS and rSSO typing results was 100% at HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB5, -DQA1, DPA1 loci. However, 4.5% of the samples (179/4006) showed allelic-dropouts at one of the other three loci: HLA-DRB4 (3.9%), HLA-DPB1 (0.4%), and HLA-DQB1*(0.15%). The allelic-dropouts are not associated with specific haplotypes, and some dropouts can be reagent lot-specific. Although DRB1-DRB3/4/5-DQB1 linkages help to diagnose these allelic-dropouts in some cases, the rSSO typing was crucial to identify the dropouts in DQB1 and DPB1 loci. These results uncover the critical limitations of using long-range PCR amplicon-based NGS as a standalone method in clinical histocompatibility laboratories and advocate the need for strategies to diagnose and resolve allelic-dropouts.

Abstract
Currently, Luminex technology based on the PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) probe method has been widely used for HLA genotyping in the immunogenetics laboratories. Here, we reported a case with HLA-B allele dropout by Luminex technology. The initial HLA-B result of the Luminex method with a commercial agent kit was inconclusive, and then, the result of PCR-SBT technology indicated the dropout as a HLA-B*58 allele. Subsequently, the full-length sequence of HLA-B allele was determined by TOPO-TA cloning, and a novel allele B*58:01:01:02 was identified in the individual. Compared with HLA-B*58:01:01:01, the novel allele showed some nucleotides difference at 509 C>T, 521 T>G and CCC insertion in position 503 of intron 2. According to the full-length sequence, the new mutations of intron 2 were contributed to HLA-B locus allele dropout in the sample. Our results indicated multiplatform should be used to improve the HLA typing accuracy when a conclusive HLA genotype cannot be determined.
