Distribution of human leukocyte antigen alleles and haplotypes in Oroqen and Ewenki nationality minority in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.
The frequencies of the human leukocyte antigen alleles HLA-A,-B, DRB1 and the A-B, A-DRB1, B-DRB1, A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were investigated through means of PCR-based reverse line-strip sequence specific oligonucleotide hybridization on 108 Oroqen and 104 Ewenki nationality unrelated healthy individuals from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. A total of thirteen different HLA-A alleles, 21 different HLA-B alleles and 13 different HLA-DRB1 alleles were detected in the Oroqen ethnic group and the most frequent HLA alleles found were A*24(35.65%), B*15(17.92%), and DRB1*09(17.59%), respectively. The common HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were A*24-B*40-DRB1*09(5.09%), A*24-B*48-DRB1*12(2.78%) and A*24-B*51-DRB1*04(2.78%); and the HLA-A*33-B*58, A*30-B*13, A*01-B*37, A*33-DRB1*03, A*01-DRB1*10, A*30-DRB1*07, B*37-DRB1*10, B*58-DRB1*03, B*38-DRB1*08, B*13-DRB1*07 were significant positive linkage disequilibrium in the Oroqen nationality group. In total, 14 different HLA-A alleles, 27 B alleles and 12 DRB1 alleles were found in Ewenki nationality group, and the most frequent HLA alleles found were A*24(24.49%), B*40(17.35%), and DRB1*04(14.80%), respectively. The common HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were A*33-B*58-DRB1*03(6.25%), A*01-B*51-DRB1*11(2.88%) and A*24-B*40-DRB1*09(2.88%); the HLA-A*33-B*58, A*29-B*44, A*03-B*52, A*33-DRB1*03, A*29-DRB1*07, A*24-DRB1*09, B*58-DRB1*03, B*08-DRB1*03, B*46-DRB1*09 were significant positive linkage disequilibrium in Ewenki nationality group. The distribution of HLA A,-B, DRB1, alleles haplotypes frequencies and phylogenetic tree indicated that the Oroqen and Ewenki population groups belongs to northern group of China, together as a group cluster.
