Cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis, Mafa) have emerged as important animal models for biomedical research, necessitating a more extensive characterization of their major histocompatibility complex polymorphic regions. The current information on the polymorphism or diversity of the polygenetic Mafa class I A loci is limited in comparison to the more commonly studied rhesus macaque Mafa class I A loci. Therefore, in this paper, to better elucidate the degree and types of polymorphisms and genetic differences of Mafa-A1 among three native Southeast Asian populations (Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Filipino) and to investigate how the allele differences between macaques and humans might have evolved to affect their respective immune responses, we identified 83 Mafa-A loci-derived alleles by DNA sequencing of which 66 are newly described. Most alleles are unique to each population, but seven of the most frequent alleles were identical in sequence to some alleles in other macaque species. We also revealed (1) the large and dynamic genetic and structural differences and similarities in allelic variation by analyzing the population allele frequencies, Hardy-Weinberg’s equilibrium, heterozygosity, nucleotide diversity profiles, and phylogeny, (2) the difference in genetic structure of populations by Wright’s FST statistic and hierarchical analysis of molecular variance, and (3) the different demographic and selection pressures on the three populations by performing Tajima’s D test of neutrality. The large level of diversity and polymorphism at the Mafa-A1 was less evident in the Filipino than in the Vietnam or the Indonesian populations, which may have important implications in animal capture, selection, and breeding for medical research. 相似文献

Alopecia areata (AA) is an organ-specific and cell-mediated autoimmune disease involving hair loss, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Many autoimmune diseases are genetically associated with alleles of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes within the major histocompatibility complex. Associations between AA and HLA genes were previously observed in some different ethnic groups. However, the results were inconsistent, and a primary susceptibility HLA gene and/or region has not yet been assigned for AA. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an allele of the HLA-C locus, HLA-C*07:04, which was strongly associated with AA in Chinese Hans, could be replicated in the Japanese population. The HLA-C locus was genotyped by the SSO method using 156 AA patients and 560 healthy controls. As a consequence, among the 17 alleles detected, only two alleles, C*04:01 (OR?=?2.25, CI 95 %?=?1.35–3.75, P?=?1.84E-03) and C*15:02 (OR?=?2.52, CI 95 %?=?1.37–4.64, P?=?2.90E-03), were significantly associated with AA after Bonferroni correction. Further, the stratification analysis suggested that C*04:01, C*07:02, and C*15:02 represented different AA genetic risk factors in each sub-phenotype. 相似文献

In order to investigate the polymorphism of Alu insertions (POALINs) in the HLA region, we genotyped ten Alu loci (AluMICB, AluTF, AluHJ, AluHG, AluHF in the HLA class I region and AluDPB2, AluDQA2, AluDQA1, AluDRB1, AluORF10 in the HLA class II region) to determine their allele frequencies and associations with the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-DRB1 genes in the Chinese Han population. Our results showed the ten-loci POALINs varied in frequency between 0.003 and 0.425. By comparing the data of the ten-loci POALIN in Chinese Han with Japanese and Caucasian data, marked differences were observed between the three ethnic groups at the allelic or haplotypic levels. Each POALIN was in significant linkage disequilibrium with a variety of HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 alleles, and was associated with a variety of HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 allele in Chinese Han. This comparative study of multilocus POALINs in the HLA class I and II regions of the Chinese Han population shows that POALINs alone or as haplotypes together with the HLA class I and II alleles are informative genetic markers for the identification of HLA class I and II allele and variations, such as crossing over events within the same and/or different populations. 相似文献

Our aim was to investigate microsatellite (MS) diversity and find crossover regions at 42 polymorphic MS loci in the swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) genomic region of 72 pigs with different well-defined homozygous and heterozygous SLA haplotypes. We analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of 42 MS markers in 23 SLA homozygous-heterozygous, common pig breeds with 12 SLA serological haplotypes and 49 National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Clawn homozygous-heterozygous miniature pigs with nine SLA serological or genotyped haplotypes including four recombinant haplotypes. In comparing the same and different haplotypes, both haplospecific patterns and allelic variations were observed at the MS loci. Some of the shared haplotype blocks extended over 2 Mb suggesting the existence of strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the entire SLA region. Crossover regions were easily defined by the MS markers within the class I and/or III region in the NIH and Clawn recombinant haplotypes. The present haplotype comparison shows that our set of MS markers provides a fast and cost-efficient alternative, or complementary, method to the serological or sequence-based determination of the SLA alleles for the characterization of SLA haplotypes and/or the crossover regions between different haplotypes. 相似文献

At least two polymorphic Alu insertions have been previously identified and characterized within the class I region of the
major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We have identified another two new polymorphic Alu insertions, AluyHJ and AluyHF,
located near HLA-J and HLA-F, respectively, within the a block of the MHC. Here we report on (1) the haplotypic relationships
between the Alu dimorphisms and the HLA-A locus within a panel of 51 IHW homozygous cell lines representing at least 36 HLA
class I haplotypes, (2) the Alu genotype, allele, and haplotype frequencies present in the Australian Caucasians and Japanese
populations, and (3) the frequency of association between the different Alu dimorphisms and the HLA-A alleles in 109 Australian
Caucasians and 99 Japanese. PCR was used to detect the presence or absence of insertion for AluyHJ, AluyHG, and AluyHF within
the DNA samples prepared from the cell lines and the two population groups that had been previously typed for HLA-A. In the
homozygous cell lines, all three Alu insertions were found in only one HLA class I haplotype (HLA-A1, -B57, -Cw6), no Alu
insertions were detected in six HLA class I haplotypes and one or more of the Alu insertions were found in 29 HLA class I
haplotypes. At least one of the Alu insertions was found in about 86% of the Japanese and Australian individuals, with the
AluyHJ generally related inversely to AluyHG and/or AluyHF. The gene frequency of the AluyHJ and AluyHF insertions was significantly
different (p <0.05) BETWEEN JAPANESE AND AUSTRALIANS, WHEREAS THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE (P > 0.05) between the frequencies of
AluyHG in the two populations. The Alu haplotype frequencies were also significantly different between the Japanese and the
Australians. In the cell lines and the population groups, the AluyHJ insertion was most frequently found associated with HLA-A1
or A24, AluyHG with HLA-A2, and AluyHF with HLA-A2, -A10, or -A26. This study suggests that the three polymorphic Alu elements
have been inserted into the a block of the MHC in different progenitor groups and therefore will be useful lineage and linkage
markers in human population studies and for elucidating the evolution of HLA class I haplotypes. 相似文献

The AluYb8 sequences are a subfamily of short interspersed Alu retroelements that have been amplified within the human genome during recent evolutionary time and are useful polymorphic
markers for studies on the origin of human populations. We have identified a new member of the Yb8 subfamily, AluyHG, located between the HLA-H and -G genes and 88-kb telomeric of the highly polymorphic HLA-A gene within the alpha block
of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The AluyHG element was characterised with a view to examining the association between AluyHG and HLA-A polymorphism and reconstructing the history of the MHC alpha block. A specific primer pair was designed for
a simple PCR assay to detect the absence or presence (dimorphism) of the AluyHG element within the DNA samples prepared from a panel of 46 homozygous cell-lines containing complete or recombinant ancestral
haplotypes (AH) of diverse ethnic origin and 92 Caucasoid and Asian subjects on which HLA-A typing was available. The AluyHG insertion was most strongly associated with HLA-A2 and, to a lesser degree with HLA-A1, -A3, -A11, and A-19. The gene
frequency of the AluyHG insertion for 146 Caucasians and 94 Chinese-Han was 0.30 and 0.32 and there was no significant difference between the
observed and expected frequencies. The results of the association studies and the phylogenetic analysis of HLA-A alleles suggest
that the AluyHG sequence was integrated within the progenitor of HLA-A2, but has been transferred by recombination to other human ancestral
populations. In this regard, the dimorphic AluyHG element is an important diagnostic marker for HLA association studies and could help in elucidating the evolution and
functions of the MHC alpha block and polymorphism within and between ancestral haplotypes.

The human CD1 proteins belong to a lipid-glycolipid antigen-presenting gene family and are related in structure and function to the MHC class I molecules. Previous mapping and DNA hybridization studies have shown that five linked genes located within a cluster on human chromosome 1q22-23 encode the CD1 protein family. We have analyzed the complete genomic sequence of the human CD1 gene cluster and found that the five active genes are distributed over 175,600 nucleotides and separated by four expanded intervening genomic regions (IGRs) ranging in length between 20 and 68 kb. The IGRs are composed mostly of retroelements including five full-length L1 PA sequences and various pseudogenes. Some L1 sequences have acted as receptors for other subtypes or families of retroelements. Alu molecular clocks that have evolved during primate history are found distributed within the HLA class I duplicated segments (duplicons) but not within the duplicons of CD1. Phylogeny of the alpha3 domain of the class I-like superfamily of proteins shows that the CD1 cluster is well separated from HLA class I by a number of superfamily members including MIC (PERB11), HFE, Zn-alpha2-GP, FcRn, and MR1. Phylogenetically, the human CD1 sequences are interspersed by CD1 sequences from other mammalian species, whereas the human HLA class I sequences cluster together and are separated from the other mammalian sequences. Genomic and phylogenetic analyses support the view that the human CD1 gene copies were duplicated prior to the evolution of primates and the bulk of the HLA class I genes found in humans. In contrast to the HLA class I genomic structure, the human CD1 duplicons are smaller in size, they lack Alu clocks, and they are interrupted by IGRs at least 4 to 14 times longer than the CD1 genes themselves. The IGRs seem to have been created as "buffer zones" to protect the CD1 genes from disruption by transposable elements. 相似文献
