摘要

Background

High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized genetic studies of populations and diseases. These methods provide deeper insights into gene structure and variation, offering more comprehensive immunogenetic data with stronger relevance to protein function and biological impact. However, the widespread adoption of high-resolution sequencing is hindered by factors such as cost and limited accessibility. Furthermore, successful implementation requires high-quality and sufficient quantities of genomic DNA.

Methods and results

This study addresses the challenges of limited DNA yields, a common issue in clinical samples, by employing whole-genome amplification (WGA) with isothermal multiple displacement amplification (IMDA). We investigated HLA ligands in 253 dengue samples with low DNA quantity. A multiplex PCR-SSP method was developed to determine HLA ligands in population, including HLA-C1, HLA-C2, HLA-A (Bw4), HLA-Bw4 (I80), HLA-Bw4 (T80), and HLA-A*11. The study successfully demonstrates the applicability of a multiplex PCR-SSP method for HLA genotyping in a large cohort of dengue patients. Our findings highlight the high prevalence of HLA-C1 (92.1%) and HLA-A*11:03 (78.3%) in dengue patients, providing valuable data for further investigations into the role of HLA polymorphisms in diseases.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates the utility of our approach for investigating HLA ligands in clinical samples with limited DNA. WGA-IMDA effectively overcomes the challenge of low DNA availability, making this approach suitable for resource-constrained settings. The multiplex PCR-SSP method provides a simple and cost-effective solution for immunogenetic studies.
