AbstractThe primary goal of the HLA-DPA1 ~ promoter ~ HLA-DPB1 haplotype component of the 18th IHIWS was to characterise the extended haplotypes within the HLA-DP region and survey the extent of genetic diversity in this region across human populations. In this report, we analysed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 255 subjects from 6 different cohorts. The results from the HLA-DP haplotype component have validated findings from the initial pilot study. SNPs in this region were inherited in strong linkage, particularly HLA-DPA1, SNP-linked promoter haplotypes and motifs in exon 2 of HLA-DPB1. We reported 17 SNP-linked haplotypes in the promoter region. Together with HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 alleles, they formed 74 distinct extended HLA-DP haplotypes in 438 sequences. We also observed the presence of region-specific alleles and promoter haplotypes. Our approach involved phasing extended SNPs including promoter SNPs, HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 alleles, in a 22 kb region, GRCh38/hg38 (chr6:33,064,111-33,086,679), followed by clustering of these SNPs as one extended haplotype. This hierarchical clustering revealed four major clades, suggesting that haplotypes within each clade may have diverged from a common ancestral haplotype and undergone similar evolutionary processes. The correlation between HLA-DPA1 and the promoter region raises questions about the role of HLA-DPA1 antigen in the heterodimer. This finding requires validation on a larger sample size specifically designed for anthropological analysis. Nevertheless, the results from this study highlight the clinical potential of selecting better-matched donors for patients awaiting haematopoietic stem cell transplants from genetically overlapping groups that share common ancestral haplotypes.
