Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımız, daha önce yapılan Conclusion: Our results are consistent with the HLA çalışmalarda tespit edilen HLA antijenleri ile uyumludur. antigens identified in previous studies. We believe that Çalışmamız bölgemizdeki HLA çeşitliliğinin our study will contribute to the determination of HLA belirlenmesinde katkı sağlayacağını düşünmekteyiz. diversity in our region. Consolidating the data obtained Çalışmamızda elde ettiğimiz veriler ve diğer ulusal in this study and other national data will facilitate the verilerin toplanılması kemik iliği bağışçılarının seçiminde selection of bone marrow donors. yardımcı olacaktır Key Words: HLA; Class I; Class II Anahtar Kelimeler: HLA; sınıf I; sınıf II Introduction protein antigens to antigen-specific T lymphocytes (1). The MHC (major histocompatibility complex), HLAs have considerable clinical importance. HLA which is found in all vertebrates, is a diverse molecules are the main cause of acute rejection group of genes encoding molecules with and after transplantation. Graft survival is associated without immune-related functions. The human with HLA compatibility between the recipient and MHC is called the human leukocyte antigen donor. (HLA) genes. HLAs are glycoproteins expressed In addition, it has been determined that some by the human MHC region. In humans, the MHC diseases have a higher prevalence among is located on the short arm of chromosome 6. individuals with certain HLA alleles. These include HLA antigens are divided into three groups the common conditions ankylosing spondylitis according to their structural and functional (B27), celiac disease (DR3), and Behçet's disease. properties: Class I (HLA-A, -B, -C), Class II There are several hypotheses regarding the role of (HLA-DR, -DQ, -DP), and Class III (properdin HLAs in autoimmune disease, such as antigenic factor B [FB], tumor necrosis factor [TNF], C4A, mimicry between pathogens and HLA, and C4B, and C2).

A conjugated streptavidin on hybridized fluorescent total of 17,695 HLA alleles have been reported to beads step, the results were analyzed using date, 12,893 in the class I region and 4,802 in the MatchIT Software (version 3.27).

Written informed consent forms were obtained from each volunteer bone marrow A total of 1,050 unrelated volunteer bone marrow donor. The frequencies of HLA-A, -B, and -DR donors who applied for HLA tissue typing were alleles were analyzed using SPSS the study data included. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole were analysed using SPSS® version 23.0 (IBM blood using EZ-1 isolation kit (QIAGEN GmbH, Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) statistical software Hilden, Germany).

Discussion The results of our study corroborate the findings of other studies conducted in Turkey. We believe The most frequently detected HLAs in our study our study makes an important contribution to were A*02, B*35, and DRB1*11. Previous studies HLA allele frequency data in the Eastern Anatolia have identified HLA antigen types in different region of Turkey. Our next study will investigate populations and groups using a variety of HLA haplotype frequency in a larger Turkish methods. Our findings are similar to the most population. common HLA alleles found in other regional Conflict of Interest: None studies conducted in Turkey. Source of Funding: None Choukri et al.
