This study demonstrates successful preimplantation HLA typing for couples needing stem cell transplants for affected children. It offers a new option for creating HLA-matched donors without genetic diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an option for couples avoiding termination of affected pregnancies.
  • It extends beyond prenatal diagnosis to indications like HLA matching for stem cell transplantation for affected siblings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe preimplantation human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing without identifying a causative gene.
  • To assist couples with children needing HLA-matched stem cell transplants.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro fertilization program involving 9 couples with children suffering from leukemia or Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
  • Analysis of DNA from single blastomeres of 8-cell embryos for HLA genes and short tandem repeats.
  • Selection and transfer of HLA-matched embryos for transplantation.

Main Results:

  • 199 embryos were tested, with 45 (23%) identified as HLA-matched.
  • 28 HLA-matched embryos were transferred in 12 cycles.
  • Resulted in 5 singleton pregnancies and the birth of 5 HLA-matched healthy children.

Conclusions:

  • This marks the first reported instance of preimplantation HLA typing without PGD for a causative gene.
  • It presents a viable option for couples to have HLA-matched offspring for stem cell donation to affected siblings.
