Assessing the utilization of high‐resolution 2‐field HLA typing in solid organ transplantation

TLDR
The role of high‐resolution 2‐field HLA typing (HR‐2F) in SOT is assessed by retrospectively evaluating NGS‐typed pre‐ and post‐SOT cases, whereby 21% of the cases required HR‐ 2F typing by Sanger sequencing, as supported by other legacy methods, to properly address posttransplant anti‐HLA antibody issues.

Clinical importance of extended second field high‐resolution HLA genotyping for kidney transplantation

TL;DR: It is concluded that extended 2F‐HR typing of the donor‐recipient pairs is relevant for the correct assessment of DSA, and significant misclassification occurs, and warrants caution in using inferred HLA results for clinical and research purposes.

Utilizing nanopore sequencing technology for the rapid and comprehensive characterization of eleven HLA loci; addressing the need for deceased donor expedited HLA typing.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of nanopore sequencing for delivering accurate HR-3F typing with a simple, rapid, and cost-effective protocol and appears to offer a significant advancement over current next-generation sequencing platforms as a single solution for all HLA genotyping needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A long road/read to rapid high-resolution HLA typing: The nanopore perspective.

TL;DR: An overview of next-generation sequencing and the opportunities and challenges of using nanopore sequencing for high-resolution HLA typing and immunogenetics research are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of a multiplexed amplicon-based next-generation sequencing assay for HLA typing.

TL;DR: The AllType assay on the Ion Chef/Ion S5 platform offers a robust and efficient workflow for clinical HLA typing at the 2-field resolution and the multiplex PCR strategy simplifies the laboratory procedure without compromising the typing accuracy.

Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system.

TL;DR: A Nomenclature Committee composed of geneticists and immunologists, including specialists in tissue typing, has met after each of the Histocompatibility Workshops beginning with the Third Workshop in 1967 and met after the Sixth Workshop in Aarhus in July 1975.

OPTN/SRTR 2016 Annual Data Report: Kidney.

TL;DR: Transplant rates that had changed dramatically for some groups after implementation of the new kidney allocation system in 2014 are stabilizing, allowing for evaluation of new steady states and trends, and a decline in the proportion of living donor transplants is of concern for pediatric recipients.

Class II HLA epitope matching-A strategy to minimize de novo donor-specific antibody development and improve outcomes.

TL;DR: HLA‐DR and DQ epitope matching outperforms traditional low‐resolution antigen‐based matching and has the potential to minimize the risk of de novo Class II DSA development, thereby improving long‐term graft outcome.
