Zhuang ethnic minority is the largest minority group in China. Here, we report for the first time the polymorphisms of MICA and MICB in a healthy Zhuang population of 209 unrelated individuals. Using polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific priming (PCR-SSP) and sequencing-based typing (PCR-SBT), 13 MICA-sequence alleles and 5 MICA-STR alleles, as well as 11 MICB alleles were detected, among which MICA(∗)010, MICA(∗)A5 and MICB(∗)005:02 were the most frequent alleles. Linkage disequilibria was investigated and the most common two-locus haplotypes were MICB(∗)005:02-MICA(∗)010 and MICB(∗)014-MICA(∗)045. These results suggest informative genetic markers for investigating origins and evolution of MHC class I region haplotypes in Zhuang population.
壮族是中国最大的少数民族。在此,我们首次报告了209名无亲缘关系的健康壮族人群中MICA和MICB的多态性。使用聚合酶链反应-序列特异性引物(PCR-SSP)和基于测序的分型(PCR-SBT),检测到13个MICA序列等位基因、5个MICA-STR等位基因以及11个MICB等位基因,其中MICA(∗)010、MICA(∗)A5和MICB(∗)005:02是最常见的等位基因。研究了连锁不平衡,最常见的两位点单倍型是MICB(∗)005:02-MICA(∗)010和MICB(∗)014-MICA(∗)045。这些结果为研究壮族人群中MHC I类区域单倍型的起源和进化提供了有用的遗传标记。
