The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system plays a critical role in immunorecognition, transplantation, and disease association. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized HLA typing by providing high-resolution, comprehensive data for clinical care. Third Generation Sequencing and advancements in bioengineering continue to expand the possibilities for NGS in clinical settings.
The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system has a critical role in immunorecognition, transplantation, and disease association. Early typing techniques provided the foundation for genotyping methods that revealed HLA as one of the most complex, polymorphic regions of the human genome. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), the latest molecular technology introduced in clinical tissue typing labo-ratories, has demonstrated advantages over other established methods. NGS offers high-resolution sequencing of entire genes in time frames and price points considered unthinkable just a few years ago, contributing a wealth of data informing histocompatibility assessment and standards of clinical care. Although the NGS platforms share a high-throughput massively parallel processing model, differing che-mistries provide specific strengths and weaknesses. Research-oriented Third Generation Sequencing and related advances in bioengineering continue to broaden the future of NGS in clinical settings. These diverse applications have demanded equally innovative strategies for data management and computa-tional bioinformatics to support and analyze the unprecedented volume and complexity of data gener-ated by NGS. We discuss some of the challenges and opportunities associated with NGS technologies, providing a comprehensive picture of the historical developments that paved the way for the NGS revo-lution, its current state and future possibilities for HLA typing.
