Abstract
The introduction of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) methodology in the histocompatibility testing for both allo-HSCT and solid organ transplantation enables the sequencing of all HLA genes, which in turn leads to the discovery of many new HLA alleles. Over the last 3 years, we have identified 28 novel alleles (HLA-A*02:1079, A*03:01:01:112, A*11:01:01:83, A*11:01:01:87, A*24:595, A*68:01:01:15, B*07:02:01:107, B*08:01:01:67, B*08:01:01:69, B*13:02:01:25, B*15:01:82, B*15:18:08, B*18:01:01:76, B*27:02:06, B*27:05:02:34, B*40:06:01:17, B*40:517, C*04:01:01:173, C*04:477, C*05:276, C*07:01:01:130, C*12:03:80, C*12:03:01:62, DQA1*05:01:01:10, DPB1*13:01:07, DPB1*1146:01, DPB1*1456:01 and DPB1*1514:01) using the NGS method. The presented data emphasises the benefits gained by the utilisation of the NGS-based techniques in HLA genotyping but also provides new insight on the HLA polymorphism in the Croatian population.
