Challenges and solutions in current human leukocyte antigen confirmatory typing of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

The impact of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) necessitates high precision in HLA genotyping. Confirmatory typing for patients and their related or unrelated donors before HSCT is critical. This study seeks to standardize HLA confirmatory typing in laboratories by examining the current state of HLA genotyping in the country, building upon the National Standards and Industrial Standards for HLA, and highlighting the significance of confirmatory typing for patients and potential donors prior to HSCT. A retrospective analysis over a decade reveals initial typing errors, indicating potential issues and critical considerations in pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical stages. Problems are attributed to three main causes: (1) random human errors, including technical mistakes, sample mix-up, and transcription inaccuracies; (2) limitations of technical methods, such as the varied sequence ranges between confirmatory and initial typing; (3) patient factors, involving high tumor burden, the influence of certain drugs on HLA genotyping results, and the second transplantation. Solutions are proposed for these problems, along with recommendations to standardize HLA confirmatory typing.
