HLA-DPB1 allele frequencies in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom: A critical evaluation against the common, intermediate and well-documented allele catalogues CWD 2.0.0, EFI CWD and CIWD 3.0.0.

Abstract excerpt

The Birmingham H&I laboratory performed HLA typing on 456 potential deceased solid organ donors in the UK between 2014 and 2016. Accurate DPB1 typing is essential for determining HLA compatibility in transplantation, thus we report HLA-DPB1 for potential deceased solid organ donors. To correctly interpret HLA typing data, laboratories must understand both international and local HLA allele frequencies. In this...
