Matching donor and recipient based on predicted indirectly recognizable human leucocyte antigen epitopes
Summary The predicted indirectly recognizable human leucocyte antigen (HLA) epitopes (PIRCHE) algorithm is a novel in silico algorithm to determine donor–recipient compatibility. The PIRCHE algorithm determines donor–recipient compatibility by counting the number of mismatched HLA‐derived epitopes that are involved in indirect T‐cell alloimmune responses; these epitopes are designated as PIRCHE. Over the last few years, the PIRCHE algorithm has been investigated in both hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantation. This review describes the theory of the algorithm, its application in tran...

ABO and Rh blood group genotypes in a cohort of Saudi stem cell donors
Summary The ABO and rhesus (Rh) blood group antigens are the most frequently studied genetic markers in a large group of people. Blood type frequencies vary in different racial/ethnic groups. Our objective was to investigate the distribution of the ABO and rhesus (Rh) blood groups by molecular typing method in a population of Saudi stem cell donors. Our data indicate that the most common blood group in our population is group O followed by group A then group B, and finally, the least common is group AB.

IL ‐17A[G197G]—Association between NOx and gestational age in a South African birth cohort
Summary Interleukin (IL‐)17A, plays a role in pathogenic defence, but is implicated in chronic inflammatory diseases, and has recently been associated with variable pregnancy outcomes. We investigated the role of maternal IL‐17‐[G197A]‐specific effects of third‐trimester IL‐17 mRNA expression, NOx exposure levels and other variables on gestational age, in the Mother and Child in the Environment (MACE) birth cohort in South Africa. A total of 327 participants were genotyped for IL‐17‐[G197A] by polymerase chain reaction restriction‐fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP). Quantitative real‐time PCR was...

Discrimination of FCGR2B polymorphism without coamplification of FCGR2A and FCGR2C genes
Summary The FCGR locus is characterized by high polymorphism and sequence homology. In particular, the Ile232Thr polymorphism in the FCGR2B gene results in inaccurate genotyping in most published papers. The purpose of the study was to develop an accurate genotyping assay able to discriminate this polymorphism. (Source: International Journal of Immunogenetics)

Genetic polymorphism of human leucocyte antigen and susceptibility to multidrug ‐resistant and rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis in Han Chinese from Hubei Province
Summary We determined the high‐resolution allele and haplotype frequencies at the human leucocyte antigen (HLA)A, B and DRB1 loci in the Han population of Hubei province, the TB endemic area of Central China, with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and established the relationship between HLA‐A, B and DRB1 alleles as well as haplotypes and susceptibility to multidrug‐resistant and rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR‐TB). Blood samples were drawn from 174 patients with MDR/RR‐TB and 838 patients with drug‐susceptible PTB in ethnic Han population from Hubei province (central China). Four‐digit allele genotyp...
