Abstract
The selection of a donor is an essential element in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In the absence of an HLA-matched related donor, the selection of an unrelated donor is considered, and is currently the most common type of allogenic donor used in practice. Many criteria are considered for the selection when multiple donors are available, particularly in case of partial match. The aim of this workshop is to assist in the selection of an unrelated donor, in keeping with recent data from the literature.

HLA-DRB3/4/5 Matching Improves Outcome of Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Front Immunol 2022; 12:771449. [PMID: 34970261 PMCID: PMC8712639 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.771449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The HLA-DRB3/4/5 loci are closely linked to the HLA-DRB1 gene. Mismatches in these loci occur with a frequency of about 8%–12% in otherwise 10/10 HLA-matched transplant pairs. There is preliminary evidence that these disparities may associate with increased acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) rates. The aim of this study was to analyze a large cohort of German patients and their donors for HLA-DRB3/4/5 compatibility and to correlate the HLA-DRB3/4/5 matching status with the outcome of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (uHSCT). To this end, 3,410 patients and their respective donors were HLA-DRB3/4/5 and HLA-DPB1 typed by amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). All patients included received their first allogeneic transplant for malignant hematologic diseases between 2000 and 2014. Mismatches in the antigen recognition domain (ARD) of HLA-DRB3/4/5 genes were correlated with clinical outcome. HLA-DRB3/4/5 incompatibility was seen in 12.5% (n = 296) and 17.8% (n = 185) of the 10/10 and 9/10 HLA-matched cases, respectively. HLA-DRB3/4/5 mismatches in the ARD associated with a worse overall survival (OS), as shown in univariate (5-year OS: 46.1% vs. 39.8%, log-rank p = 0.038) and multivariate analyses [hazard ratio (HR) 1.25, 95% CI 1.02–1.54, p = 0.034] in the otherwise 10/10 HLA-matched subgroup. The worse outcome was mainly driven by a significantly higher non-relapse mortality (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05–1.73, p = 0.017). In the 9/10 HLA-matched cases, the effect was not statistically significant. Our study results suggest that mismatches within the ARD of HLA-DRB3/4/5 genes significantly impact the outcome of otherwise fully matched uHSCT and support their consideration upon donor selection in the future.

Frequencies and haplotype associations of non-expressed HLA alleles in ethnically diverse populations on the National Marrow Donor Program's Be The Match Registry. Hum Immunol 2020; 81:580-587. [PMID: 32684409 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2020.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
HLA allele matching is critical to successful bone marrow transplantation between a patient and donor. Non-functional HLA alleles, so called 'null alleles', are not well described within a large population of well HLA-typed ethnically diverse individuals despite their impact on donor selection. A retrospective analysis was performed on 833,789 unrelated donors (URDs) in the National Marrow Donor Program's Be The Match Registry® typed for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 by next-generation DNA sequencing. Results showed that null alleles occur in low frequency (2.30E-04) compared to expressed alleles. Their overall frequency ranged from 6.00E-07 to 9.25E-04 with a median of 1.20E-06. The expected allele associations were commonly observed for HLA-A*24:09N, HLA-B*51:11N, and HLA-C*04:09N; however, associations outside of the expected were also observed. Notably, 82% of the National Marrow Donor Program Registry URDs carrying HLA-A*24:11N showed a different HLA-C allele association, HLA-C*05:01, compared to the allele described by prior published work characterizing German donor populations, HLA-C*04:01. The frequencies of these observed null alleles and linkage disequilibrium information could be invaluable and helpful in guiding the HLA testing decisions.
