Abstract excerpt
Many clinical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) laboratories are adopting next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology for HLA genotyping. There have been several reports of the cost-benefit and reduction in turn-around-time provided by NGS. Ninety-six percent of buccal swabs and peripheral blood samples had reportable HLA genotyping by NGS. The HLA loci most likely to fail genotyping from buccal swabs were DQB1,...
