Context:

The discovery of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) in the 1950s revolutionized transplantation.
Current HLA typing primarily uses serum analysis for cross-matching, not donor-recipient typing.
Various HLA genotyping methods exist, each with advantages and disadvantages, necessitating careful selection to prevent errors.

Purpose:

To review advancements in HLA genotyping methods, focusing on Solid-Phase Oligonucleotide (SSO) techniques.
To highlight the importance of high-resolution HLA typing for improving transplant outcomes.
To discuss the application of HLA genotyping in both organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Summary:

The PCR-Luminex method enables high-resolution HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 genotyping in the Japanese population, defining alleles at a four-digital level.
High-resolution HLA matching significantly improves recipient survival in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
For organ transplantation, rapid HLA genotyping, alongside cytokine promoter lesion and immunoglobulin-like receptor genotyping, is vital for graft survival.

Impact:

Improved accuracy in donor-recipient matching through advanced HLA genotyping techniques.
Potential enhancement of graft survival rates in organ transplantation.
Better patient outcomes and survival in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation via precise HLA matching.
