RESUMO
OBJETIVOS: 1- Padronizar a genotipagem em larga escala para determinação de antígenos eritrocitários e plaquetários pela plataforma de OpenArray®em doadores de sangue. 2- Elaboração de software para registro destes doadores, com interface com o equipamento de genotipagem. METODOLOGIA: Extração automatizada de DNA e genotipagem através demicroarranjos líquidos (OpenArray®) para 32 alelos codificantes de antígenos eritrocitários e plaquetários. RESULTADOS: Foi realizada a genotipagem de 5487 doadores para os antígenos propostos, de forma completamente interfaceada e automatizada. O ensaio customizado de Open Array® mostrou-se acurado e de rápida execução. Elaborou-se software próprio para interfaceamento dos resultados da genotipagem e busca dos genótipos. CONCLUSÃO: Padronizou-se estratégia efetiva para rastreamento de doadores de sangue com fenótipos raros. A automação de todas as etapas experimentais e o interfaceamento completo dos dados minimizaram os erros humanos e aumentaram a rapidez do processo descrito, que pode ser aplicado como estratégia de genotipagem de doadores de todo o Estado de São Paulo.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the OpenArray platform for genetic testing of blood donors and to assess the genotype frequencies of nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with venous thrombosis (G1691A and G20210A), hyperhomocysteinemia (C677T, A1298C), and hereditary hemochromatosis (C282Y, H63D and S65C) in blood donors from Sao Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: We examined 400 blood donor samples collected from October to November 2011. The SNPs were detected using OpenArray technology. The blood samples were also examined using a real-time PCR-FRET system to compare the results and determine the accuracy of the OpenArray method. RESULTS: We observed 100% agreement in all assays tested, except HFE C282Y, which showed 99.75% agreement. The HFE C282Y assay was further confirmed through direct sequencing, and the results showed that OpenArray analysis was accurate. The calculated frequencies of each SNP were FV G1691A 98.8% (G/G), 1.2% (G/A); FII G2021A 99.5% (G/G), 0.5% (G/A); MTHFR C677T 45.5% (C/C), 44.8% (C/T), 9.8% (T/T); MTHFR A1298C 60.3% (A/A), 33.6% (A/C), 6.1% (C/C); HFE C282Y 96%(G/G), 4%(G/A), HFE H63D 78.1%(C/C), 20.3% (C/G), 1.6% (G/G); and HFE S65C 98.1% (A/A), 1.9% (A/T). CONCLUSION: Taken together, these results describe the frequencies of SNPs associated with diseases and are important to enhance our current knowledge of the genetic profiles of Brazilian blood donors, although a larger study is needed for a more accurate determination of the frequency of the alleles. Furthermore, the OpenArray platform showed a high concordance rate with standard FRET RT-PCR.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequencies of human platelet antigens in oncohematological patients with thrombocytopenia and to analyze the probability of their incompatibility with platelet transfusions. METHODS: Platelet antigen genotyping was performed by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) for the HPA-1a, HPA-1b, HPA-2a, HPA-2b, HPA-3a, HPA-3b, HPA-4a, HPA-4b, HPA-5a, HPA-5b; HPA-15a, HPA-15b alleles in 150 patients of the Hematology Service of the Hospital das Clínicas (FMUSP). RESULTS: THE ALLELE FREQUENCIES FOUND WERE: HPA-1a: 0.837; HPA-1b: 0.163; HPA-2a: 0.830; HPA-2b: 0.170; HPA-3a: 0.700; HPA-3b: 0.300; HPA-4a: 1; HPA-4b: 0; HPA-5a: 0.887; HPA-5b: 0.113; HPA-15a: 0.457 and HPA-15b: 0.543. CONCLUSIONS: Data from the present study showed that the A allele is more common in the population than the B allele, except for HPA-15. This suggests that patients homozygous for the B allele are more predisposed to present alloimmunization and refractoriness to platelet transfusions by immune causes. Platelet genotyping could be of great value in the diagnosis of alloimmune thrombocytopenia and to provide compatible platelet concentrates for these patients.
