Abstract
The ancient city of Chichén Itzá in Yucatán, Mexico, was one of the largest and most influential Maya settlements during the Late and Terminal Classic periods (AD 600-1000) and it remains one of the most intensively studied archaeological sites in Mesoamerica1-4. However, many questions about the social and cultural use of its ceremonial spaces, as well as its population's genetic ties to other Mesoamerican groups, remain unanswered2. Here we present genome-wide data obtained from 64 subadult individuals dating to around AD 500-900 that were found in a subterranean mass burial near the Sacred Cenote (sinkhole) in the ceremonial centre of Chichén Itzá. Genetic analyses showed that all analysed individuals were male and several individuals were closely related, including two pairs of monozygotic twins. Twins feature prominently in Mayan and broader Mesoamerican mythology, where they embody qualities of duality among deities and heroes5, but until now they had not been identified in ancient Mayan mortuary contexts. Genetic comparison to present-day people in the region shows genetic continuity with the ancient inhabitants of Chichén Itzá, except at certain genetic loci related to human immunity, including the human leukocyte antigen complex, suggesting signals of adaptation due to infectious diseases introduced to the region during the colonial period.

[PMID: 38285781 PMCID: PMC10911740 DOI: 10.31557/apjcp.2024.25.1.169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute leukemia (AL) constitutes a group of malignant hematological diseases with multifactor origins. Some human leukocyte alleles (HLA) may be important genetic risk factors for development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is still unknown whether there is a relationship between ALL and AML with some alleles of the major histocompatibility complex. Our study looks specifically at western and southwest Algerian populations. METHOD Using the polymerase chain reaction with the sequence specific probe (PCR- SSP) method, we investigated the relationship of HLA-B alleles in 163 Algerian AL patients and 293 controls from the same ethnic origin. The study ran from 2013 - 2020. RESULTS Allele frequencies of HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*58 was higher in AL patients compared with control individuals; p=0.05 and p=0.03 respectively. Interestingly, all patients carrying HLA-B*27 allele and 88% of patients carrying HLA-B*58 allele had AML. However, there were no significant differences when we compared these results with the rest of AL group (HLA-B*X allele) (p=0.387). Response to induction chemotherapy treatment were comparable between the two patient groups 67% and 65% (p=0.978) respectively. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*58, may be factors predisposing individuals to acute leukemia, in west and southwest Algerian patients. A large-scale study is still needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The association between HLA loci and haematological malignancy has been reported in certain populations. However, there are limited data for HLA loci at a high-resolution level with haematological malignancy in China. In this study, a total of 1115 patients with haematological malignancies (including 490 AML, 410 acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), 122 myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS] and 93 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL]) and 1836 healthy individuals as a control group in the Han population of Zhejiang Province, China, were genotyped for HLA-A, HLA-C, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 loci at high resolution. The possible association between HLA alleles and haplotypes and haematologic malignancy was analysed. The allele frequencies (AFs) of HLA-A*02:05, HLA-A*02:06, HLA-A*32:01, HLA-B*35:03, HLA-B*54:01, HLA-B*55:07, HLA-DRB1*04:05, HLA-DRB1*15:01, HLA-DQB1*04:01 and HLA-DQB1*06:02 in the MDS patients were much higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the AFs of HLA-C*07:02, HLA-DRB1*03:01, HLA-DRB1*14:54, HLA-DQB1*02:01 and HLA-DQB1*05:03 were obviously lower than those in the control group (p < .05). Interestingly, the differences in these HLA alleles in patients with MDS were not significant after applying Bonferroni correction (Pc > .05), except for HLA-A*02:06 (Pc < .01). There were 13, 6 and 10 HLA alleles with uncorrected significant differences (p < .05) among patients with AML, ALL and NHL, respectively, compared with those in the control group, but the differences in these HLA alleles were not significant after correction (Pc > .05). Compared to those of the control group, there were some haplotypes over 1.00% frequency in patients with AML, MDS and NHL patients with uncorrected significant differences (p < .05). However, none of them showed a significant difference after correction as well (Pc > .05). The study reveals that HLA-A*02:06 may lead to susceptibility to MDS, but none of the HLA alleles were associated with AML, ALL or NHL after correction. These data will help to further understand the role of HLA loci in the pathogenesis of haematological malignancy in China.

Frequency of HLA alleles and KIR Ligands in Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Indian Cohort. Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus 2023; 39:50-56. [PMID: 36699439 PMCID: PMC9868221 DOI: 10.1007/s12288-022-01550-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Relationship between various combinations of KIR ligands and HLA alleles have been studied in several diseases. The aim of this retrospective study was to estimate the frequency of HLA alleles and KIR ligands among acute myeloid leukemia patients and healthy controls in order to examine the possible association of HLA alleles and KIR ligands with AML. A total of 439 acute myeloid leukemia patients and 1317 unrelated, healthy ethnic Indian controls were included in the study. HLA typing was performed using PCR-SSP. KIR ligands were assigned by using the KIR ligand Calculator. The frequency of HLA alleles and KIR ligands in patients was then compared with the controls. As compared to controls, frequencies of HLA-A*03 and HLA-B*35 were increased in AML patients, whereas, that of HLA-C*03 was decreased. Frequencies of HLA-A*03 and HLA-C*15 were increased in male patients, however, no significant difference was observed in female patients as compared to controls. In the pediatric group, the frequencies of HLA-A*01 was decreased and that of HLA-A*03 and HLA-B*18 were increased, whereas, frequencies of HLA-B*13 was decreased and that of HLA-B*27 was increased in the adult patients. In the haplotype analysis, the frequency of HLA-A*24/B*35/DRB1*15 was increased in overall patients. In adult group, the frequency of HLA-A*01/B*44/DRB1*07 was increased in patients than in controls. No significant association was observed between KIR ligands and susceptibility/ protection to AML. Our results indicate that certain HLA alleles and haplotypes have presumptive positive or negative role in conferring protection/susceptibility to AML.

A Single-Center Experience on HLA Typing with 11 Loci Next Generation Sequencing in Korean Patients with Hematologic Disease. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12051074.

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 matched. Therefore, NGS-based HLA typing enables a detailed, high-resolution analysis of the HLA system that can help with the selection of suitable donors. Notably, HLA-DRB1*08:02:01G was significantly associated with myelodysplastic syndrome. Although this result confirms the tendency of some alleles to be associated with hematological disorders, this may not be the case in hematologic malignancies. Nonetheless, NGS-based HLA typing data for HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, and HLA-DRB3/4/5 are still warranted for a better understanding of the corresponding locus.

Abstract
Objective: Acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are neoplastic blood disorders in which the cancerous white blood cells accumulate, resulting in a significant morbidity and mortality. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) association is observed as one of the factors in the development of leukemia. The objective of the present study was to analyze the allele frequency of HLA Class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and Class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) in Indian acute leukemia patients and to compare them with the frequencies in healthy, unrelated Indian individuals. Materials and Methods: We included 500 Indian leukemic patients (AML = 324 and ALL = 176) and 1000 unrelated, healthy, Indian individuals as controls. The HLA typing was performed using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. Results: On univariate analysis, allele frequencies of HLA-AFN*0111 and HLA-DRB1FN*0111 were lower in patients with ALL (P = 0.0181 and P = 0.0025, respectively). Whereas of HLA-AFN*0111, HLA-DRB1FN*0111, and HLA-BFN*0151, these frequencies were relatively lower in patients with acute leukemia (AML + ALL) (P = 0.0382, P = 0.0093 and P = 0.0384, respectively) and HLA-CFNx0101 (P = 0.0304) in AML when compared with control individuals. In contrast, the HLA-BFN*0139 and HLA-CFN*0107 allele frequency was higher in acute leukemia (P = 0.00372 and P = 0.0463, respectively) and in AML (P = 0.0010 and P = 0.0178, respectively) than that in controls. On multivariate analysis, BFNx0139 showed positive associations with acute leukemia (P = 0.006) and AML (P = 0.002). HLA-AFN*0111 and-DRB1FN*0111 showed a negative association with acute leukemia (P = 0.009 and P < 0.0001, respectively) and ALL (P = 0.013 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Conclusions: The HLA-BFN*0139 has a positive association with AML and acute leukemia, whereas HLA-AFN*0111 and HLA-DRB1FN*0111 alleles have negative association with ALL and HLA-BFN*0151 along with these two alleles with acute leukemia. No positive association was observed with ALL. HLA-CFN*0101 frequency was lower in AML patients than that in controls.

Abstract
We studied HLA class I (HLA-A, -B) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1) allele groups and alleles by PCR-SSP based typing in a total of 15,318 mixed ancestry Mexicans from all the states of the country divided into 78 sample sets, providing information regarding allelic and haplotypic frequencies and their linkage disequilibrium, as well as admixture estimates and genetic substructure. We identified the presence of 4268 unique HLA extended haplotypes across Mexico and find that the ten most frequent (HF > 1%) HLA haplotypes with significant linkage disequilibrium (Δ'≥0.1) in Mexico (accounting for 20% of the haplotypic diversity of the country) are of primarily Native American ancestry (A*02~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*08~DQB1*04, A*68~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*14~DQB1*03:01, A*24~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*40:02~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*68~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*15:01~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02). Admixture estimates obtained by a maximum likelihood method using HLA-A/-B/-DRB1 as genetic estimators revealed that the main genetic components in Mexico as a whole are Native American (ranging from 37.8% in the northern part of the country to 81.5% in the southeastern region) and European (ranging from 11.5% in the southeast to 62.6% in northern Mexico). African admixture ranged from 0.0 to 12.7% not following any specific pattern. We were able to detect three major immunogenetic clusters correlating with genetic diversity and differential admixture within Mexico: North, Central and Southeast, which is in accordance with previous reports using genome-wide data. Our findings provide insights into the population immunogenetic substructure of the whole country and add to the knowledge of mixed ancestry Latin American population genetics, important for disease association studies, detection of demographic signatures on population variation and improved allocation of public health resources.

Abstract
The 'Immunogenetics of Aging' project is a component introduced in the 14th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop (IHIW) and developed further within subsequent workshops. The aim was to determine the relevance of immunogenetic markers, focusing on HLA, cytokine genes, and some innate immunity genes, for successful aging and an increased capacity to reach the extreme limits of life-span. Within the 17th IHIW we applied Next Generation Sequencing methods to refine further HLA associations at allele level in longevity, and to extend our knowledge to additional loci such as HLA-DQA1, HLA-DPB1 and HLA-DPA1. Analysis of relatively small number of healthy elderly and young controls from four populations showed that some HLA class I and class II alleles were significantly positively associated with healthy aging. Additionally we observed statistically significant differences in HLA allele distribution when the analysis was performed separately in elderly females and males compared to sex-matched young controls. Haplotypes, probably associated with better control of viral and malignant diseases were increased in the elderly sample. These preliminary NGS data could confirm our hypotheses that survival and longevity might be associated with selection of HLA alleles and haplotypes conferring disease resistance or susceptibility. Therefore HLA alleles and haplotypes could be informative immunogenetic markers for successful ageing.

HLA concordance between hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients and umbilical cord blood units: Implications for cord blood banking in admixed populations. Hum Immunol 2019; 80:714-722.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation is an important choice for treating a variety of hematopoietic, neoplastic, and genetic disorders. The optimal size for a cord blood bank to provide matching units for 80% of patients requiring a stem cell transplantation procedure depends on the particular characteristics of each population. In this study, we analyzed the immunogenetic diversity of a sample set of Mexican patients suffering from blood, hematopoietic, and immunological diseases, to assess the best strategy for cord blood banking. For achieving that, we analyzed HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1 genotype and allele frequencies of both units from the bioarchive of the Umbilical Cord Blood Bank from La Raza and patients requiring a stem cell transplant and compared these variables with data from the same geographic and genetic context. We were able to detect significant differences for at least half of the alleles were observed for HLA class I and class II genes between units and patients. Five Native American haplotypes had lower frequencies in patients sample than in the cord blood units. Genetic admixture estimations for both groups showed a higher contribution of Native American component in the cord blood units. Differences in ancestral components in the Umbilical Cord Blood Bank from La Raza and six virtual banks modeled from a pool of Mexican mixed ancestry individuals show that genetic background is important in cord blood collection. In conclusion, increasing diversity over quantity of new cord blood units will improve the cost effectiveness of cord blood banking and health policies regarding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in admixed populations such as those present in Latin American countries.

Altered HLA Class I Profile Associated with Type A/D Nucleophosmin Mutation Points to Possible Anti-Nucleophosmin Immune Response in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0127637. [PMID: 25992555 PMCID: PMC4439052 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0127637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2015] [Accepted: 04/17/2015] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations are frequently found in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the newly generated sequences were suggested to induce immune response contributing to the relatively favorable outcome of patients in this AML subset. We hypothesized that if an efficient immune response against mutated nucleophosmin can be induced in vivo, the individuals expressing HLA alleles suitable for presenting NPM-derived peptides should be less prone to developing AML associated with NPM1 mutation. We thus compared HLA class I frequencies in a cohort of patients with mutated NPM1 (63 patients, NPMc+), a cohort of patients with wild-type NPM1 (94 patients, NPMwt) and in normal individuals (large datasets available from Allele Frequency Net Database). Several HLA allelic groups were found to be depleted in NPMc+ patients, but not in NPMwt compared to the normal distribution. The decrease was statistically significant for HLA B*07, B*18, and B*40. Furthermore, statistically significant advantage in the overall survival was found for patients with mutated NPM1 expressing at least one of the depleted allelic groups. The majority of the depleted alleles were predicted to bind potent NPM-derived immunopeptides and, importantly, these peptides were often located in the unmutated part of the protein. Our analysis suggests that individuals expressing specific HLA allelic groups are disposed to develop an efficient anti-AML immune response thanks to aberrant cytoplasmic localization of the mutated NPM protein.
