The role of the HLA allelic repertoire on the clinical severity of COVID-19 in Canadians, living in the Saskatchewan province

Pramath Kakodkar et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the association between patients' HLA genetic profiles and disease severity of COVID-19 infection. A prospective study was conducted on COVID-19 patients in Saskatoon, Canada, and high-resolution HLA typing profiles were obtained through next-generation sequencing. The results showed that specific HLA alleles interact with KIR-associated subfamily in modulating NK cell-mediated surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. Importance rating: 9 out of 10.

Chimerism analysis for clinicians: a review of the literature and worldwide practices

Amanda G. Blouin et al.

Summary: This review summarizes relevant literature on chimerism analysis in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and presents the findings of a survey conducted among program members of CIBMTR worldwide. Recent research suggests that detecting low level mixed chimerism can be clinically useful in predicting relapse. The use of high sensitivity next generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly recognized for this purpose. The survey revealed heterogeneity in testing practices and inconsistencies in published studies.

A practical guide to chimerism analysis: Review of the literature and testing practices worldwide

Amanda G. Blouin et al.

Summary: There are currently no widely accepted guidelines for chimerism analysis testing in HCT patients, and the survey results revealed significant heterogeneity in testing practices among laboratories. The most consistent response was monitoring engraftment within the first 30 days.
