Human platelet antigen 1-6, 9 and 15 in the Iranian population: An anthropological genetic analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:7442.

Abstract
Human platelet antigens (HPAs) are membranous glycoproteins considered as alloantigens due to their polymorphisms. HPA-incompatibility in multiple pregnancies or blood transfusion can induce the development of alloantibodies leading to thrombocytopenia. The frequency of HPAs varies among populations, so that deep knowledge of HPA frequencies will help us to reduce those incompatibilities. Herein, we studied the allele and genotype frequencies of HPA1-6, HPA9, and HPA15 among the Iranians with intra- and inter-populations analyses on 36 worldwide populations with diverse ethnicities. The analysis shows that the HPA2 and HPA5 have the greatest differences in genotype distribution between the Iranians and other nations, although similar to other populations, the sole allele found in HPA4, 6, and 9 is “a”. Despite other HPAs, the most frequent allele in HPA15 is “b”, which is also abundant in HPA3. Hierarchical clustering indicates the highest degree of global similarity in HPA genotype frequency among Iranian, Argentinian, Brazilian, and German Turkish populations. Our findings can be applied to decrease the risk of alloimmunizations and platelet disorders, especially in neonates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human Platelet Antigens (HPA) are of considerable interest in obstetric transfusion medicine and anthropological genetics. This study aims to provide clinicians with a detailed database of HPA antigenic variants, which allows them to estimate the probability of allo-immunisation of each antigen. In addition, it aims to make an interethnic comparison of the Tunisian population with other populations. METHODS The target population consists of 324 healthy and unrelated Tunisian blood donors recruited from the National Blood Transfusion Center in Tunis. DNA extraction was performed by the Salting Out method and molecular genotyping was performed by the PCR-SSP technique. The statistical analysis was performed using two approaches: manual calculation and computerized calculation. Phylogenetic trees were constructed through the use of Standard Genetic Distances that were calculated from allelic frequencies. RESULTS With the exception of the HPA-4 system, statistical analysis showed that all HPA systems are polymorphic especially the two systems HPA-3 and HPA-15. The inter-ethnic analysis showed that Tunisians are closer to North Africans and Caucasians than Sub-Saharan and Asian populations, which shows genetic mixing between Tunisians, Arabs, Europeans and Africans. CONCLUSION The results of this study could be exploited to prepare a ready-to-use genotyping plate dedicated to HPA antigens, with the aim of ensuring better management, especially for polytransfused patients.

EINSTEIN-SAO PAULO 2019; 17:eAO4477. [PMID: 30758400 PMCID: PMC6438674 DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2019ao4477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 09/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To described the allele and haplotype frequencies of human leukocyte antigen genes at the -A, -B loci and human platelet antigen genes for human platelet antigen systems 1 to 9, 11 and 15 in blood. METHODS We included 867 healthy unrelated volunteer donors who donated platelets between January 2011 and December 2014. Microarray genotyping was performed using a BeadChip microarray. Medium resolution typing of the human leukocyte antigen at loci A and B was carried out using sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe hybridization. We used multivariate analysis and our human leukocyte antigen population was compared to data from the United States national bone marrow donor program. Human platelet antigen results were compared to a literature review and data from around the world. RESULTS Our human leukocyte antigen haplotype results were more similar to those of hispanics, followed by caucasians. Likewise, our human platelet antigen sample is more similar to those of Argentina, Rio Grande do Sul and Italy. CONCLUSION This was the first article that discusses human platelet antigen and human leukocyte antigen data together. Rare genotypes or antibody associations can make patient management difficult. A blood bank with genotyped donors allows for optimal transfusion and can contribute to better results. Our information can serve as basis for a database of platelet antigen polymorphisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A comparative study of allele frequencies at HPA-1 to -6 and HPA-15 in Burmese and Karen populations as well as at HPA-15 in north-eastern Thais (NET) is presented. BACKGROUND Human platelet antigens (HPAs) are clinically important in several immune platelet disorders, including foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), post-transfusion purpura (PTP) and platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR). The knowledge of antigen frequencies in a population is essential for the evaluation of patients suffering from immune-mediated platelet disorders. METHODS A total of 285 unrelated, healthy Burmese, 242 Karen and 300 NET were recruited to this study. Genotype and allele frequencies of HPA-1 to -6 and HPA-15 were defined using polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) RESULTS: No individuals homozygous for HPA-1bb, -2bb, -4bb, -5bb and -6bb were detected. HPA-1a, -2a, -4a, -5a and -6a were present in all samples of Burmese and Karen origin. HPA-1b, -2b, -4b, -5b and -6b were rare in these populations. The frequencies of HPA-3a/-3b were 60·4/39·6% in Burmese and 55·8/44·2% in Karen, respectively. Frequencies of HPA-15a/-15b were 57·2/42·8% in Burmese, 52·5/47·5% in Karen and 49·8/50·2% in NET. CONCLUSIONS The frequencies of HPA genotypes in our study indicates that HPA-1a, -2a, -4a, -5a and -6a are unlikely involved in FNAIT, PTP and PTR in Burmese and Karen populations. However, HPA-1b, -2b, -3a, -3b, -4b, -5b, -6b, -15a and -15b may likely stimulate alloantibodies in these populations.

Abstract
Background: Alloantibodies against human platelet alloantigens (HPAs) are responsible for the development of platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) in patients receiving random platelets and bleeding disorder in babies with fetal neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). Recently, our results based on the analysis of the allelic distribution of HPAs indicated that immunization may occur among Malay. In this study, we sought to analyze the frequencies of platelet reactive alloantibodies responsible for FNAIT and PTR in Malaysia.Methods: Sera from suspected FNAIT (n = 295) and PTR (n = 74) were collected in five years period (2008-2013) and tested for the presence of platelet reactive antibodies by the use of antigen capture assay.Results: In 5/74 (5.41%) platelet specific antibodies against HPA-2b (n = 1), HPA-5a (n = 1), HPA-5b (n = 1), HPA-15b (n = 2) could be identified in our PTR cohort. In FNAIT cohort, platelet specific alloantibodies could be detected in 18 sera (6.10%) consisting anti-HPA-1a (n = 1), anti-HPA-3a (n = 3), anti-HPA-5a (n = 6), anti-HPA-5b (n = 6), anti-HPA-15a (n = 1), and anti-HPA-15b (n = 1).Conclusion: Our study indicates that anti-HPA-3, -HPA-5 and -HPA-15 antibodies seems to be the most platelet specific antibodies involved in FNAIT and PTR cases in Malaysian population. Since similar HPA allelic distribution among Malaysian and Indonesian populations have been observed, immunization against these three HPA systems are expected to be the most potential risk of alloimmune mediated platelet disorders in Indonesia.
