abstract

the human leukocyte antigen (hla)-g molecule is expressed in cytotrophoblast cells, adult thymic epithelial cells, erythroblasts, pancreatic islets and mesenchymal stem  cells. although, hla-g expression in allotransplanted patients is correlated with a better allograft acceptance, it is associated with an advanced grade of the tumor in cancer. in addition to the role on the immune system, hla-g is also involved in successful pregnancy through the embryo implantation, fetal survival and the initial steps of hematopoiesis and angiogenesis. the  aim of  this  study was determination  of  hla-g  allele frequencies in a healthy population of iran. in this research, we selected 100 samples from healthy iranian individuals and henceforth, we used polymerase chain reaction (pcr) followed by sequencing technique for exon 2, 3, 4 and intron 2 of the gene for evaluating the hla-g  alleles frequencies. investigation of intronic (intron 2) variation is the  novelty of our study. the obtained results indicated thirteen alleles of hla-g in iranian individuals including g*01:01:01:01, g*01:06, g*01:01:01:06, g*01:01:02, g*01:01:03, g*01:01:05, g*01:01:06, g*01:01:07, g*01:01:08, g*01:03, g*01:04:01, g*01:04:03, and g*01:04:04. according to this study, the most prevalent alleles in the iranian population were g*01:01:01:01 (52.5%), g*01:01:02  (16%)  and  g*01:04:03  (14.5%) and  also  the  lowest  alleles regarding  the frequency were g*01:01:01:06 (0.5%) and g*01:03 (0.5%). the results of g*01:01:01:01 and g*01:04:01 frequencies showed some similarities with the  polish population.  our  results were similar to  the  north  indian  population  for  the frequencies of g*01:06 and g*01:01:02.

Null Allele Frequencies at HLA-G Locus in Iranian Healthy Subjects

Background: HLA-G gene contains 15 alleles including a null allele, HLA-G*0105N. Previous studies have shown that HLA-G*0105N does not encode the complete HLA-G1 or HLA-G5 isoforms but encodes a functional HLA-G protein with the ability to in-hibit NK cell cytolysis. Thus, although the biological functions of HLA-G1 and HLA-G5 proteins are abrogated, other isoforms such as HLA-G2 can replace th...

recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is known as the most common chronic disease of the oral cavity, which affects a range of 5-25% of the population. ras appears to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii alleles and haplotypes. this study attempts to survey the distribution of hla-drb and -dqb alleles among iranian ras patients and healthy controls. in order to evaluate ...

Allele Frequencies of HLA-A, B and DRB1 among People of Fars Ethnicity Living in Tehran

Background: Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are polymorphic cell surface proteins. Distribution of HLA alleles vary among different racial and ethnic populations in unrelated stem cell registries. Determination of HLA allele frequencies in different ethnic groups is useful for population genetic analyses. Materials and Methods: Based on data available from the Iranian Stem Cell Donor Registry...

HLA-DRB and HLA-DQB Allele and Haplotype Frequencies in Iranian Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is known as the most common chronic disease of the oral cavity, which affects a range of 5-25% of the population. RAS appears to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles and haplotypes. This study attempts to survey the distribution of HLA-DRB and -DQB alleles among Iranian RAS patients and healthy controls. In order to evaluate ...
