ObjectiveWe aimed to develop accurate and user‐friendly genetic assays to identify the inherited neutrophil antigen‐2 (HNA‐2) deficiency in humans.BackgroundHNA‐2 is one of the most important neutrophil antigens implicated in a number of human disorders. HNA‐2 deficiency or HNA‐2 null is a common phenotype observed in 3%–5% Americans. HNA‐2 null individuals are at risk to produce isoantibodies (or alloantibodies) that play important roles in transfusion‐related acute lung injury, immune neutropenia, and bone marrow graft failure. We previously demonstrated that theCD177coding SNP 787A > T (c.787A > T) is the most important genetic determinant for HNA‐2 deficiency. However, reliable genetic assays are not available for routine clinical laboratory application up to now.Study Design and MethodsA novel polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy was used to determine genotypes of theCD177SNP c.787A > T. In the simplified PCR assay, all allele specific primers and internal control primers were included in the same reaction, which ensures reliability of the assay. In addition, a novel high‐throughput nested TaqMan assay was developed to determine genotypes of c.787A > T for large population genetic analysis of HNA‐2 deficiency.ResultsCD177SNP c787A > T genotypes of 396 subjects were 100% concordant among the single PCR reaction method, the nested TaqMan assay, and Sanger Sequencing analysis. Out of 396 subjects, all 18 donors with theCD177STP homozygous genotype were HNA‐2 null.ConclusionThe novel PCR‐based genotyping assay is accurate to identify HNA‐2 deficient individuals and is suitable for clinical laboratories. In addition, the innovative high‐throughput nested TaqMan assay will be useful for large‐scale population screens and genetic studies of HNA‐2 deficiency.
