RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the polymorphisms of the human platelet antigen (HPA) gene of Han and Menggu population of Heilongjiang province in China, to determine platelet antigen system with clinical significance by judging the rate of incompatibility of HPA, as well as to establish a database of donors HPA including the Han nationality and the minority nationality.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The samples of unrelated healthy Menggu population (100 cases) people were selected from Heilongjiang province in China, and 123 cases in healthy Han population in Heilongjiang as control were collected. The technique of PCR-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) was used for genotyping of 34 alleles in HPA1-17 gene. The gene frequency and genotype frequency were separately calculated, and the allele frequency distribution in Menggu population was compared with the results from Han population.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the Han population, monomorphic HPA-4,HPA-7-14,HPA-16, 17 were found in the samples, none of HPA-b was found in these samples. For HPA-1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, aa homozygosity was predominant. In the Menggu population, monomorphic HPA 1, HPA 5, 6, HPA 7-14, HPA 16,17 were found in the samples, none of HPA-b was found in these samples. For HPA 2, 4 aa homozygosity was predominant. HPA-3, 15 had the greatest heterozygosity in 2 population. HPA-1a and HPA-3a frequency of Menggu population were significantly different from that of Han population in Heilongjiang.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Distribution of the allele polymorphism of HPA 1-17 in Heilongjiang Han population is similar to that in Menggu population, and it shows its own characteristics. When the local HPA genotyped database of platelet donors in Heilongjiang is established, the count of Menggu donor should be increased.</p>
RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to establishment of known HPA genotype platelet donor data base and carry out the platelet antigen gene typing and matching in the platelet transfusion so as to prevent the production of the antibody and to avoid the platelet transfusion refractoriness. HPA of the donors and the patients were genotyped by PCR-SSP. The platelet transfusion with the same ABO type and HPA genotypes as the patient was selected and infused if the solid-phase agglutination matching was consistent. The results showed that the distribution of HPA types in Chinese Mudanjiang area had its own characteristics. HPA-15 had the greatest heterozygosity, and then HPA-3. The effective rate was 94.4% if both the HPA types and the ABO types were coincident while the effective rate was 77.8% when only ABO types were coincident. It is concluded that the distribution of HPA types in Chinese Mudanjiang area presents genetic polymorphism. The platelet transfusion with genetic typing and matching of both HPA and ABO types is an effective way to avoid production of the antibody and platelet transfusion refractoriness.

This study was aimed to explore the distribution characteristics of the human platelet antigen (HPA) gene of human platelet donors and its polymorphism in Mudanjiang area of Heilongjiang Province in China, to determine platelet antigen system with clinical significance by judging the rate of incompatibility of HPA, as well as to establish a database of donors' HPA. The genotyping of 154 unrelated platelet donors was performed by means of PCR-SSP. The frequencies of gene and genotype were calculated and compared with that in other areas. The results showed that the genes 1a-17a of HPA-a were all expressed in the 154 healthy and unrelated platelet donors. Only genes 1b, 2b, 3b, 5b, 6b and 15b of HPA-b were expressed while genes 4b, 7b-14b, 16b were not expressed. Among the genotypes, aa homozygosity was predominant and HPA15 had the greatest heterozygosity, while HPA3 had lower heterozygosity. There were 23 combined types of HPA, 5 of them had a rate higher than 10%, and the frequencies of the other 18 were lower than 8%. HPA genotype frequencies showed a good consistency to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. It is concluded that the distribution of the allele polymorphism of HPA1-HPA17 in Mudanjiang area has its own characteristics, compared with other areas and some countries, the local HPA genotype database of platelet donors is established in Mudanjiang area, which can provide the matching donors for clinical use with immunological significance.
