文摘

HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 gene and haplotype frequencies have been calculated from 7595 southern Chinese unrelated donors in a Hong Kong Bone Marrow Donor Registry. This is the first large-scale paper to report the distribution of A-C-B-DRB1 alleles in Hong Kong Chinese. This information is important for phylogenetic, comparative studies and estimating the optimal and cost-effective donor size and likelihood of obtaining appropriately matched donors for Chinese patients awaiting haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The allele and haplotype data are available in the Allele Frequencies Net Database under the population name ‘‘Hong Kong Chinese BMDR’’ and the identifier (AFND003357).
