Abstract:BackgroundNext‐generation sequencing (NGS) is the most modern sequencing technique that has revolutionized HLA typing, providing high‐resolution results with low ambiguity rates. This study aimed to show the experiences and challenges of an HLA laboratory in the validation process of the NGS methodology for HLA typing and show the use of this method for the study of HLA genetic diversity.MethodsWe used 115 samples that comprised a comprehensive testing panel for validation of the NGS methodology using the AllT… Show more
“…Informed consent was obtained from each donor. HLA typing was conducted using next‐generation sequencing (NGS) with the AllType™ kit (One Lambda, Inc., Canoga Park, California) on the Ion Torrent S5 platform (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts) according to the validated protocol 5 . Data was analyzed in Type Stream Visual software version 3.0.0 (One Lambda).…”

“…Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) methods are now increasingly employed for HLA genotyping in the Clinical HLA Laboratories, providing high‐resolution results with low ambiguity rates 1,2 . The number of HLA alleles is constantly increased with the application of molecular techniques.…”
“…Approximately 8500 class II HLA alleles were officially recognized in the IPD‐IMGT/HLA Database (release 3.46, 2021‐10) 1 . The higher quality and reliability of HLA typing obtained by next‐generation sequencing of the complete HLA gene has contributed to improve the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) 2,3 . In this report, we describe the full‐length sequence of three new HLA class II alleles in the healthy Brazilian individuals.…”
