Abstrakt: The data enabling the estimation of the possibility of finding a matched unrelated donor (MUD) within a relatively short time is important for the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In the present study, 738 unrelated Croatian patients in the program of unrelated HSCT were retrospectively analyzed for gender matching, donor origin (national or international), the distribution of HLA alleles and haplotypes, as well as for the probability of finding a 9-10/10 MUD. Almost 70% of the patients in our study group had a 10/10 MUD, while among the patients with a 9/10 MUD, a 1st field resolution level mismatched donor was selected for 55.0% of patients. The majority of pairs were HLA-A mismatched (33.8%). A comparison of HLA allele frequencies between two subgroups of patients revealed significant differences for 13 alleles. However, after p value correction, the difference in frequency remained significant only for four alleles; three HLA alleles (B*08:01, C*07:01, and DRB1*03:01) demonstrated a significantly higher frequency among patients with a 10/10 MUD (Pcorr < 0.0001, Pcorr = 0.0096, and Pcorr < 0.0001, respectively), while the B*35:08 allele was significantly more present among patients with a 9/10 MUD (Pcorr = 0.0328). The comparison of the distribution of HLA haplotypes between patients with a 10/10 MUD and patients with a 9/10 MUD showed significant differences for a number of two-locus and three-locus haplotypes, as well as for one five-locus haplotype (HLA-A*01:01~B*08:01~C*07:01~DRB1*03:01~DQB1*02:01), which was significantly more present in the group of patients with a 10/10 MUD. At least one HLA haplotype from the group of non-frequent HLA haplotypes (positions >1000) was carried by patients with a 9/10 MUD. The data obtained by the present study will contribute to a better estimation of the probability of finding a suitable 9-10/10 MUD for Croatian patients in need of HSCT.
