ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the allele polymorphism and characteristic of HPA-1-17 genotyping of Li ethnic on Hainan island,and to evaluate the HPA mismatched ratio between donor and recipient in randomly chosen cases of blood transfusion,in order to investigate the platelet transfusion refractoriness in Li population.Methods Genotyping tests of A-1—17 allele of the blood sample from 180 Lis were conducted with PCR-SSP.Results A total of 180 blood samples were genotyped successfully in HPA genetic system,among which 0.9972 were HPA-2a,0.0028 were HPA-2b,0.4889 were HPA-3a,0.5111 were HPA-3b,0.9667 were HPA-5a,0.0333were HPA-5b,0.9972 were HPA-6a,00028 were HPA-6b,0.4250 were HPA-15a,0.05750 were HPA-15b,and they all showed polymorphism. But polymorphism was not detected out in other allelic genes,such as HPA-1,-4,-7—14,-16,and -17. The bb homozygous were detected in two alleles,among which 0.2834 was HPA-3 and 0.3667 was HPA-15,but it wasn't detected in the others systems. In the randomly chosen cases of blood transfusion,the mismatch rate of HPA-3 ,HPA-15 and HPA-5 was 37.49%,36.93% and 6.23%,respectively.Conclusion This research revealed the distribution of HPA gene in Li population on Hainan island,and found the allelic frequency and thier characteristics. According to our findings,HPA-2,HPA-3,HPA-5 and HPA-15 genes between donor and recipient should be matched in order to avoid platelet transfusion refractoriness.
