Abstract:Linkage disequilibria (LD) between alleles and haplotypes of human leucocyte antigen, locus A (HLA) and STR loci located in the human major histocompatibility complex were analyzed in order to investigate whether or not HLA alleles and haplotypes are predictable by alleles or haplotypes of HLA STRs. Standardized genotyping of eight STR loci (D6S2972, D6S2906, D6S2691, D6S2678, D6S2792, D6S2789, D6S273, and DQIV) was performed by CE on 600 individuals from 150 Austrian Caucasoid families with known HLA‐A,‐B,‐C and –DRB1 typing. From those, 576 full haplotypes of four HLA and eight STR loci were obtained. Haplotypes of two flanking STRs predicted HLA alleles and two‐locus HLA haplotypes better than single STR alleles, except HLA‐DRB1 alleles (92% were in LD with DQIV alleles only). A percentage of 65–86% of three and four‐locus HLA haplotypes were in LD with haplotypes of three, four, and eight of their flanking STR loci including numerous clear‐cut predictions (20–61%). All eight and a set of the four most informative STR loci D6S2972, D6S2678, D6S2792, and DQIV could identify all HLA identical and nonidentical siblings in 138 pairs of siblings. The results of this proof of concept study in Austrian Caucasoids show, that HLA STRs can aid the definition of HLA‐A,‐B,‐C,‐DRB1 haplotypes and the selection of sibling donors for stem cell transplantation.
Keywords:Haplotype  HLA STR  Linkage disequilibrium
