Role of HLA in Unrelated
Donor Transplantation

Theme
Human genetic variation is a reflection of the
ethnic/racial background of the population.
• MHC and non-MHC
The biologic implications of genetic diversity
are best examined in ethnically and
racially diverse populations.
• Autoimmunity, infectious diseases, cancer,
transplantation.
The Human Major
Histocompatibility Complex
• The most gene-dense region in the entire
human genome: over 300 loci of which 30%
have immune-related function.
• Functional genes in infection, inflammation,
autoimmunity, cancer and transplantation:
recent genome-wide association studies confirm
MHC region genes involved in T1D, RA, CD,
HIV/AIDs progression.
• High degree of sequence variation and strong
positive long-range linkage disequilibrium.
Challenges in Unrelated
Hematopoietic Cell
Transplantation
1. Diversity of the HLA System
Many patients do not have allele-matched donors.
Can the bar be lowered without compromising safety?
2. Linkage Disequilibrium
Even with precise donor matching, GVHD remains a significant complication.
How can LD be used advantageously to identify new transplantation determinants?

HLA Genetic Variation
• Complex: not SNPs
• Substitutions distributed across 3 class I
exons, one class II exon
• Nucleotide substitutions are concentrated
at positions that are functionally important
for T cell and NK cell allorecognition.
• “Patchwork” overlap in amino acid motifs.

Background
Risks after unrelated donor HCT are
influenced by:
• the number of HLA mismatches
• the locus that is mismatched
• the allele and antigen mismatch defined
by their sequence (residues)

Risk of mortality increases as the number of HLA mismatches increases:
Assumption: all mismatches contribute equally to outcome.

Summary
Clinical outcome after unrelated HCT is influenced by:
• The number of HLA mismatches: as the number of mismatches increases, mortality increases. Choose donors with the fewest number of HLA mismatches.
• The locus that is mismatched: compared to single HLA-DQB1 mismatches, other single locus mismatches are associated with increased risk of mortality. There is no “good” mismatch, but relative degrees of “bad” mismatches. When matched donors are not available, avoid HLA-A,B,C and probably DRB1 mismatches.
• The disease risk at the time of HCT: influence of a single HLA mismatch is most evident among low-risk patients. Potential “gain” in a prolonged URD search in the hopes of finding a better matched donor at the expense of disease progression should be weighed very carefully.
• HLA-DPB1 mismatching: an epitope-based matching algorithm may provide choices in optimizing donor selection for up to 55% of patients. Beneficial GVLE associated with mismatching.

Haplotypes
• A combination of markers (alleles) at two or more sites physically linked on the same chromosomal strand.
• The markers are inherited together.
• Markers that are always observed together on the same haplotype can serve as “tags” for one another.
• Tags can be used to identify unknown variation that are linked on the same haplotype.
• How does knowledge of haplotype-linked tag markers facilitate disease mapping?

Global Survey of

Conrad et al Nature
Genetics 38:1251, 2006
How similar are ethnically
diverse populations at the
haplotype level?
Surveyed 927 individuals
from 52 populations for
3,024 SNPs in 36 genomic
regions .
Conclusions:
Nearby populations (same
continent) share haplotype
structure.
Number of distinct
haplotypes per region
declines from Africa.
Hypotheses
• MHC haplotypes are a tool for mapping novel transplantation determinants.
• HLA alleles on haplotypes are markers for functional linked MHC resident variation.
• We can query the MHC with the use of Msat and SNP markers.
• We can measure risks associated with donor genotype, recipient genotype, and donor-recipient mismatching.
