Abstract:

: 

In the present study, polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) was used to analyze human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 alleles of 98 unrelated healthy Shandong Han individuals. A total of 60 alleles, in which 28 in DRB1, 15 in DQB1 and 17 in DPB1 were found. Among the 28 detected DRB1 alleles, DRB1*150101, DRB1*070101, DRB1*090102, DRB1*120201, and DRB1*080302 were commonly observed, with frequencies of 16.3%, 11.2%, 10.2%, 8.2%, and 5.6%, respectively. The most predominant DQB1 allele was DQB1*030101/0309 with the frequency of 20.4%, followed by DQB1*0201/0202 (14.8%), DQB1*0602 (14.3%), DQB1*030302 (12.2%), and DQB1*060101/060103 (10.7%). Of the 17 detected DPB1 alleles, DPB1*0501 was the most frequent allele with the frequency of 37.2%. DPB1*020102 (18.4%), DPB1*040101 (11.2%), DPB1*0402 (7.1%), and DPB1*1701 (6.6%) were also very frequent alleles. A total of 53 estimated DRB1-DQB1 two-locus haplotypes were observed in Shandong Han population, of which DRB1*150101-DQB1*0602 was the most predominant, followed by DRB1*090102-DQB1*030302, DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201/0202 DRB1*120201-DQB1*030101/0309, and DRB1*080302- DQB1*060101/060103. The distribution of the HLA class II alleles and haplotypes frequencies as well as the dendrogram showed that the Shandong Han population belongs to the northern group of Chinese. The data have implications for anthropological studies and disease associations.
