HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and –DQB1 allele and haplotype frequencies of 1463 umbilical cord blood units typed in high resolution from Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract Allele and haplotype frequencies were calculated from 1463 unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) units from Bogota, Colombia typed in high resolution. This is the first report in the country using allele-level typed samples in five HLA loci associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1). The most frequent haplotype found in our sample was A*24:02g∼B*35:43g∼C*01:02g∼DRB1*04:07g∼DQB1*03:02g (4.14%). Our data are available at the Allele Frequencies Net Database under the code AFND3568.
