متن کاملHigh-Resolution HLA-A Typing in Normal Iranian Population
Background: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene is a highly polymorphic region. HLA typing is required to match patients and donors for transplantation; therefore, development of HLA registries is necessary for finding HLA match donors. HLA system is highly informative, and numerous studies have been conducted on HLA allele distribution in different populations. Methods: In this study,...
متن کاملHLA-B27 Association with Uveitis in an Asian Indian Population
Background: Uveitis refers to diseases characterized by intraocular inflammation of the uveal tract. Anterior uveitis is a common ocular disease characterized by inflammation of the iris and the ciliary body. Objectives: To establish the frequency of HLA-B27- positive uveitis in Asian Indian population, study their clinical profile and compare it with other reports in literature. Methods: We re...
متن کاملMeasuring Ambiguity in HLA Typing Methods
In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, donor selection is based primarily on matching donor and patient HLA genes. These genes are highly polymorphic and their typing can result in exact allele assignment at each gene (the resolution at which patients and donors are matched), but it can also result in a set of ambiguous assignments, depending on the typing methodology used. To facilitate r...
متن کاملHLA Typing – A Comparison of Serology and DNA Techniques
DNA based HLA typing is fast replacing conventional Microlymphocytotoxicity based method, which has been regarded as the gold standard. Many laboratories in Mumbai have already switched over to molecular methods, as the results are far superior. This study was undertaken to compare the results of generic molecular typing by sequence specific primers (SSP) with that by serology in our laboratory...
