In order to achieve high-resolution HLA-DQA1 genotyping, it is necessary to identify polymorphisms in exons 1, 2 and 3. We present a high-resolution sequence-based typing (SBT) strategy for genotyping exons 1, 2 and 3 of the polymorphic HLA-DQA1 locus. This method is an improvement upon previously presented methods, because it utilizes the minimum number of SSP-PCR assays to obtain clear DNA sequence in both the forward and reverse directions of all three exons. All known HLA-DQA1 alleles are resolved with the exception of HLA-DQA1010101 and HLA-DQA1010102 for which the distinguishing polymorphism is located in exon 4 and does not result in an amino acid change. This method has enabled our laboratory to identify three new HLA-DQA1 alleles - HLA-DQA1040102, HLA- DQA10402 and HLA-DQA10404 - in the Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes (GoKinD) study population. Additionally, we present single-allele amplification methods, which identify the coding sequences of HLA-DQA1 exons 1, 2, 3, intron 2 and 300 bp of the HLA-DQA1 promoter (QAP). This study, also describes the QAP for most of the known HLA-DQA1 alleles, three HLA-DQA2 promoter sequences and the intron 2 sequences for HLA-DQA1040101, HLA-DQA1040102, HLA-DQA10402 and HLA-DQA1*0404.
为了实现高分辨率的HLA - DQA1基因分型,有必要鉴定外显子1、2和3中的多态性。我们提出了一种基于序列的高分辨率分型(SBT)策略,用于对多态性HLA - DQA1基因座的外显子1、2和3进行基因分型。该方法是对先前提出的方法的改进,因为它利用最少数量的序列特异性引物 - 聚合酶链反应(SSP - PCR)检测,在所有三个外显子的正向和反向都获得清晰的DNA序列。除了HLA - DQA1010101和HLA - DQA1010102外,所有已知的HLA - DQA1等位基因都能得到区分,其区别性多态性位于外显子4中,且不会导致氨基酸变化。该方法使我们实验室能够在糖尿病肾脏遗传学(GoKinD)研究人群中鉴定出三个新的HLA - DQA1等位基因——HLA - DQA1040102、HLA - DQA10402和HLA - DQA10404。此外,我们还提出了单等位基因扩增方法,该方法可鉴定HLA - DQA1外显子1、2、3、内含子2以及HLA - DQA1启动子(QAP)的300 bp的编码序列。本研究还描述了大多数已知HLA - DQA1等位基因的QAP、三个HLA - DQA2启动子序列以及HLA - DQA1040101、HLA - DQA1040102、HLA - DQA10402和HLA - DQA1*0404的内含子2序列。
