[Features of distribution HLAalleles and haplotypes in Kalmyks.]

Conducted high-resolution HLA-typing loci HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 by massively parallel sequencing of 150 potential donors of hematopoietic stem cells from the Republic of Kalmykia. In the studied population, four new alleles identified that not previously registered by the International Committee on the Nomenclature of Factors of the HLA-system of WHO. During the HLA-typing identified: 29 alleles at the HLA-A locus, 44 - at the HLA-B locus, 26 - at the HLA-C locus, 15 - at the DQB1 locus, 37 - at the HLA-DRB1 locus. The following alleles have a frequency of more than 10%: HLA-A*02:01 (11,7%), HLA-A*01:01 (11%), HLA-B*51:01 (10,3%), HLA-B*58:01 (10,3%), HLA-C*06:02 (17,7%), HLA-C*03:04 (10,3%), HLA-C*03:02 (10%), HLA-DQB1*03:01 (26,7%), HLA-DQB1*02:02 (10%), HLA-DRB1*07:01 (11,7%). The most common HLA-A-B-C-DQB1-DRB1 haplotype is A*02:05-B*50:01-C*06:02-DQB1*02:02-DRB1*07:01 (3,7%). Deviations from the Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium not identified.
