These 3 loci are therefore the most important for matching donor and recipient. Ankylosing spondylitis Ankylosing Spondylitis Ankylosing spondylitis is the prototypical spondyloarthropathy and a systemic disorder characterized by inflammation of the axial skeleton, large peripheral joints, and digits; nocturnal back Common manifestations include asymmetric arthritis Multiple sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis MS Multiple sclerosis MS is characterized by disseminated patches of demyelination in the brain and spinal cord.
Common symptoms include visual and oculomotor abnormalities, paresthesias, weakness Narcolepsy Narcolepsy Narcolepsy is characterized by chronic excessive daytime sleepiness, often with sudden loss of muscle tone cataplexy. Other symptoms include sleep paralysis and hypnagogic and hypnopompic Psoriasis Psoriasis Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease that manifests most commonly as well-circumscribed, erythematous papules and plaques covered with silvery scales.
Multiple factors contribute, including Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis RA Rheumatoid arthritis RA is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that primarily involves the joints. RA causes damage mediated by cytokines, chemokines, and metalloproteases. Reported data from HLA typing of affected sib pairs, the association of GSE with DR3 and DR7 in different populations, and the proportions of different HLA phenotypes and genotypes were compared with expected data derived by three different methods.
The HLA data analyses consistently reject a dominant mode of inheritance for the presumed HLA-linked disease allele but do not reject a recessive model.
Other disorders The HLA-B27 variant is associated with a group of inflammatory joint diseases related to ankylosing spondylitis.

Epub Jul HLA are proteins that are located on the surface of the white blood cells and other tissues in the body. There are many different specific HLA proteins within each of these three groups. This set is known as a "haplotype".
Below you will notice the father has 2 distinct HLA haplotypes. You inherit one haplotype from each parent. Therefore, there are a total of four different haplotype combinations from 2 parents. There is a basic rule in HLA inheritance. Therefore, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being an identical match with your siblings. After HLA is determined, there is a second test which will indicate if there is specific immune reactivity between the donor and recipient.
This test is the "crossmatch". The crossmatch is a test which determines if the recipient has antibody to the potential donor.
Antibody is a protein, present in the serum, which could injure the donor's cells by attacking the HLA. The antibody will only injure the donor's cells if it is specific for the donor's particular HLA Not everyone has antibody against HLA. The crossmatch is performed by mixing a very small amount of the patient's serum with a very small amount of the potential donor's white cells. If the patient has antibody to the donor's HLA , the donor's cells will be injured and this is referred to as a "positive crossmatch".
A positive crossmatch is a strong indication against transplant, since it signifies that the patient has the ability to attack the donor's cells, and would, most likely attack the donor's implanted kidney. Notice how the patient's antibody fits the donor's HLA just as a lock and key.
