Non‐classicalHLA‐Egene variability in Brazilians: a nearly invariable locus surrounded by the most variable genes in the human genome

Abstract: The non-classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I genes present a very low rate of variation. So far, only 10 HLA-E alleles encoding three proteins have been described, but only two are frequently found in worldwide populations. Because of its historical background, Brazilians are very suitable for population genetic studies. Therefore, 104 bone marrow donors from Brazil were evaluated for HLA-E exons 1-4. Seven variation sites were found, including two known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at pos… Show more

“…To date, only 17 alleles and six full-length protein variants have been recognized by the IMGT/HLA (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ipd/imgt/hla/stats.html, database version 3.20.0). Two major allele groups -HLA-E ⁄ 01:01 and E ⁄ 01:03 -account for most of the HLA-E molecules found in the different populations investigated so far [14][15][16][17][18]. The molecules encoded by these groups differ by a single amino acid substitution, encoded at codon 107 (exon 3), in which E ⁄ 01:01 presents an Arginine and E ⁄ 01:03 presents a Glycine.…”

“…Uma elevada frequência do grupo de alelo C*07 foi observada no presente estudo entre os doadores e pacientes pré-TMO autodeclarados brancos e também nos negros, fato que corrobora a literatura 2 . No estudo realizado no Rio Grande do Sul 7 , os grupos de alelos mais frequentes foram os alelos DRB1*11 e DRB1*13, enquanto que para as amostras referentes ao presente estudo, os mais frequentes foram DRB1*01, nos doadores e DRB1*13, nos pacientes.…”

“…Os produtos dos genes DPA1 (cadeia DP alfa) e DPB1 (cadeia DP beta) associam-se para formar as moléculas HLA-DP e, similarmente, DQA1 (cadeia DQ alfa) e DQB1 (cadeia DQ beta) constituem as moléculas de HLA-DQ [1][2][3][4] . A região de classe III, localizada entre as regiões de classe I e II, contém genes C2, C4A, C4B e fator B que codificam proteínas do sistema complemento, além de outros genes envolvidos na resposta imune inata e nos processos inflamatórios [1][2][3][4] . Os genes HLA estão ligados e, por essa razão, são geralmente transmitidos para a descendência como uma unidade, por segregação mendeliana simples.…”
