RESUMO
Background: Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, identifying the COVID-19 pathophysiology not only has been addressed to applying diagnostic tests or preventing through vaccines, but also to the timely detection, especially of patients in risk groups such as those in transplants areas (renal, hematology, etcetera). In the case of these patients, using RT-PCR tests avoids putting them at risk by subjecting them to states of immunosuppression that could aggravate their situation if they were faced with an onset of a COVID-19 infection. Objective: To present the results of patients of a transplant unit tested for SARS-CoV-2. Material and methods: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and retrolective study. Data of results of RT-PCR tests of patients who underwent transplantation from June 2021 to April 2022 in a third level hospital were collected. Results: 755 tests were done to patients who underwent transplantation. 384 (50.8%) were women. Out of all patients, only 73 (9.7%) were positive to SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions: Implementing RT-PCR tests as a transplant protocol to detect SARS-CoV-2 prevents fatal complications due to COVID infection to donors and receptors.
Introducción: desde que comenzó la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2, identificar la fisiopatología de la COVID-19 no solo se ha encaminado a aplicar pruebas diagnósticas o prevenir por medio de vacunas, sino también a la oportuna detección, sobre todo de pacientes de grupos de riesgo como los del área de trasplantes (renal, hematológico, etcétera). En el caso de estos pacientes, usar pruebas como la RT-PCR evita someterlos a estados de inmunosupresión que podrían agravar la situación en caso de que se encuentren ante un inicio de la infección por COVID-19. Objetivo: exponer los resultados de las pruebas de SARS-CoV-2 aplicadas a pacientes de una unidad de trasplantes. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo, observacional, transversal y retrolectivo. Se recolectaron los datos de los resultados de las pruebas de RT-PCR para SARS-CoV-2 de pacientes sometidos a trasplante de junio de 2021 a abril de 2022 en un hospital de tercer nivel. Resultados: se hicieron 755 pruebas a los pacientes sometidos a trasplante; 384 (50.8%) fueron mujeres. De todos los pacientes, solo 73 (9.7%) fueron positivos a SARS-CoV-2. Conclusiones: implementar pruebas RT-PCR para detectar el SARS-CoV-2 como protocolo de trasplante previene complicaciones fatales derivadas de la infección por COVID a los donadores y a los receptores.

We studied HLA class I (HLA-A, -B) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1) allele groups and alleles by PCR-SSP based typing in a total of 15,318 mixed ancestry Mexicans from all the states of the country divided into 78 sample sets, providing information regarding allelic and haplotypic frequencies and their linkage disequilibrium, as well as admixture estimates and genetic substructure. We identified the presence of 4268 unique HLA extended haplotypes across Mexico and find that the ten most frequent (HF > 1%) HLA haplotypes with significant linkage disequilibrium (Δ'≥0.1) in Mexico (accounting for 20% of the haplotypic diversity of the country) are of primarily Native American ancestry (A*02~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*08~DQB1*04, A*68~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*14~DQB1*03:01, A*24~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*40:02~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*68~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*15:01~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02). Admixture estimates obtained by a maximum likelihood method using HLA-A/-B/-DRB1 as genetic estimators revealed that the main genetic components in Mexico as a whole are Native American (ranging from 37.8% in the northern part of the country to 81.5% in the southeastern region) and European (ranging from 11.5% in the southeast to 62.6% in northern Mexico). African admixture ranged from 0.0 to 12.7% not following any specific pattern. We were able to detect three major immunogenetic clusters correlating with genetic diversity and differential admixture within Mexico: North, Central and Southeast, which is in accordance with previous reports using genome-wide data. Our findings provide insights into the population immunogenetic substructure of the whole country and add to the knowledge of mixed ancestry Latin American population genetics, important for disease association studies, detection of demographic signatures on population variation and improved allocation of public health resources.

The natural killer group 2 (NKG2) family of receptors, encoded within the NK complex gene region (NKC), modulate the cytotoxic activity of NK cells. Two haplotype blocks throughout the NKC, hb-1 and hb-2 have been associated with different levels of overall natural cytotoxicity. Here, we evaluated allelic and genotype frequencies at rs1049174, rs2617160, rs2617170, rs2617171, rs1983526 (hb-1 haplotype), and rs2255336 and rs2246809 (hb-2 haplotype) in 928 subjects examined from Mexico City. The most frequent alleles and genotypes were as follows: C, CG to rs1049174; G, GG to rs2255336; T, AT to rs2617160; G, GG to rs2246809; C, CT to rs2617170; G, CG to rs2617171; and G, CG to rs1983526. Linkage disequilibrium analysis revealed that rs1049174, rs2617160, rs2617170, and rs2617171 constituted the haplotype block-1 variant (hb-1v) (r2â¯≥â¯0.89). Two predominant haplotypes of hb-1v were identified based on the allele content and included CTCG and GATC. This study is the first to evaluate the allelic and genotype frequency distribution of rs1049174, rs2255336, rs2617160, rs2246809, rs2617170, rs2617171, and rs1983526 in the population of Mexico City.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease accounts for part of overall health expenditure; a potential etiology is related to variations, absence or presence of some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. METHOD: An analysis of HLA reports of 1965 kidney recipients with no determined etiology, and 1361 kidney donors was performed. It was carried out with Luminex based in cell flow fluorometry for the A, B, DRB1 and DQA loci. An analysis was performed with contingency tables in order to determine the odds ratio (OR) and confidence intervals (CI). Quantitative analysis was also carried out. RESULTS: Of the 101 alleles found, 13 showed association, 7 with risk for chronic kidney disease, with the most significant being HLA-DR17 with an OR of 3.91 (95 % CI = 2.96-5.17) and the one with the highest significance for protection being HLA-DR9, with an OR of 0.043 (95 % CI = 0.005-0.3224). CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to understand that kidney diseases can be associated with yet unknown immune processes, where the association of the absence or presence of any allele should be known.
INTRODUCCIÓN: La enfermedad renal crónica representa parte del gasto en salud en general; una potencial etiología es la relacionada con variaciones, ausencia o presencia de algunos alelos del human leucocyte antigen (HLA). MÉTODO: Se realizó el análisis de 1965 reportes de HLA sin etiología determinada y de 1361 donadores renales. Se llevó a cabo tecnología Luminex con base en fluorimetría de flujo celular para los locus A, B, DRB1 y DQA. Se realizó análisis con tablas de contingencia para determinar razón de momios (RM) e intervalos de confianza (IC). Se efectuó análisis cuantitativo. RESULTADOS: De 101 alelos encontrados, 13 presentaron asociación, siete con riesgo para enfermedad renal crónica, de los cuales el más significativo fue HLA-DR17, con RM = 3.91 (IC 95 % = 2.96-5.17), y el de mayor significación de protección fue HLA-DR9, con RM = 0.043 (IC 95 % = 0.005-0.3224). CONCLUSIONES: Es necesario entender que las enfermedades renales pueden estar ligadas a procesos inmunológicos, en los que se tiene que conocer la asociación de la ausencia o presencia de algún alelo.

With the onset of the AIDS epidemic, major changes occurred in blood banking and transfusion medicine. These changes occurred mainly in donor selection and screening tests for infectious diseases, blood centers modified their organizational philosophy regarding quality. Transfusion of blood products are procedures that allow us to correct the haematology deficiencies for which was indicated. But today, despite the strict controls that precede transfusion,recipients may have undesirable effects, which are known as adverse effects or adverse reactions to transfusion. Antibodies and antigens of the HLA system plays a role in a series of events related to transfusion, such as immunological platelet refractoriness, febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions, transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease. The determination of anti-HLA antibodies is evidence that in most developed countries is used on a daily basis in the regular assessment of patients multitransfused or waiting lists for organs from deceased donors. The biomodulators are able to modify biological responses which act in sequence to lead to the differentiation of T lymphocytes. These agents may subcategorizes those which facilitate a normal immune response, those stimulates the immune response, those are capable of inducing immunosuppression not cytotoxic, and those enhancing the ability of the host to tolerate damage by cytotoxic treatment (transfusion or transplant).
