Abstract: Bone marrow transplantation and haplotyping Brian Tait, chief scientific officer, Haplomic Technologies Pty Ltd, explores the clinical benefits of haplotyping in single-chromosome sequencing and unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation (HSCT). The principal genes involved in transplant matching are the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes, which are located on the short arm of chromosome 6 within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). (which includes the HLA-A, -B, –C, –DR, -DQ and –DP genes). While HLA matching at individual alleles is a factor determining success in organ transplantation, there is little evidence that HLA haplotype matching improves graft survival.
