Abstract

Background: HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) gene is located on chromosome 6’s short arm, devided in three classes and including several loci. The determination of HLA genotype is necessary in transplantation, especially in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study to determine the frequency of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 alleles of 138 hematopoietic stem cell dornors at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital from the year 2010 - 2020. The HLA genotyping was performed by PCR-SSP method using Micro SSPTM Generic HLA Class I and II DNA Typing Tray kit (One Lambda). Results: 14 alleles of HLA-A locus are determined in which the highest frequency alleles are A*11 (23.55%), A*02 (21.74%), A*33 (17.39%) and A*24 (13.04%). 26 allele of HLA-B locus are determined, in which the highest frequency alleles are B*15 (22,83%), B*58 (11,23%), B*46 (10,87%) and B*07 (7,61%). 9 allele of HLA-C locus are determined, in which the highest frequency alleles are C*03 (19,93%), C*07 (18,84%), C*01 (16,30%) and C*08 (15,22%). 14 allele of HLA-DRB1 are determined in which the highest frequency alleles are DRB1*12 (22,83%), DRB1*04 (11,23%), DRB1*03 (10,87%) and DRB1*15 (9,06%). There are 2176 haplotypes combined from 4 loci HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1, in which the highest frequency haplotypes are A*02/B*46/C*01/DRB1*09 (1.19%), A*33/B*58/C*03/DRB1*03 (0.97%), A*11/B*15/C*08/DRB1*12 (0.87%), and A*11/B*15/C*01/DRB1*12 (0.55%).
