Test Code DIS Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) Class I and II Disease Association Typing, Low Resolution, Blood


Ordering Guidance


This test should be ordered if both human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and Class II results are wanted for disease association.

 

If only needing patient's HLA Class I typing for disease association, order 1DIS / Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA)-A-B-C Disease Association Typing Low Resolution, Blood.

 

If only needing patient's HLA Class II typing for disease association, order 2DIS / Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA)-DR-DQ Disease Association Typing Low Resolution, Blood.



Specimen Required


Container/Tube: Yellow top (ACD solution A or B)

Specimen Volume: 6 mL

Collection Instructions: Send whole blood in original tube. Do not aliquot.

Additional Information: Specimen acceptability is based on extracted DNA concentration and not sample age.

Clinical Information

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) class I and II genes (A, B, C, DRB1, DRB3/4/5, DQB1, DQA1, DPB1, DPA1) are a part of the major histocompatibility gene complex that encodes for proteins involved in immune recognition and are regulators of the immune response.

 

This assay is designed to provide low-to-medium resolution typing. Low-to-medium resolution defines the typing at first field (antigen or allele group level). This is in contrast to high-resolution typing, which defines typing at second field or higher (allele level).

Reference Values

Not applicable

Interpretation

Interpretation depends on the rationale for ordering the test.

Cautions

No significant cautionary statements

Method Description

Next-generation sequencing is used to type for Class I alleles (A, B, and C) and Class II alleles (DRB1, DRB3/4/5, DQB1, DQA1, DPB1, and DPA1) from genomic DNA. This method uses strictly controlled polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions for DNA amplification. The PCR amplicons are processed and sequenced via the Illumina MiSeq instrument. The output files are analyzed in provided software, which compares the data against the IMGT/HLA database to assign the molecular typing.(Package inserts: Holotype HLA Kit. Omixon; v3.0.1, 08/16/2019; NGSgo HLA Kit. GenDx; v2, 02/2021)

 

For resolution of an allelic ambiguity or in select cases, the following additional methodologies may be utilized:

-Sequence-based typing (SBT) by Sanger sequencing(Package insert: SeCore Sequencing and GSSP Kits. One Lambda, Inc; Rev 3, 02/06/2021)

-SBT by sequence-specific primers (SSP)(Package insert: Olerup SSP HLA typing kits including Taq Polymerase. CareDx; Rev 04, 12/2020)

-Reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotides (SSO)(Package insert: LABType SSO Typing Test. One Lambda, Inc.; Rev 04, 11/11/2019)
