INTRODUCTION: Chimerism is defined as coexistence of different cell lines in an individual. 46,XX/46,XY chimerism is very rare and exhibits broad range of clinical phenotypes. Most cases are detected at infancy or younger age due to disorders of sex development, while phenotypically normal cases are incidentally discovered through abnormal blood grouping results or multiple genotypes in HLA.
OBJECTIVE: Aim was to determine the genetic expression of numerous HLA alleles detected in phenotypically normal 46,XX/46,XY chimerism.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A patient was admitted for lung transplantation due to end-stage pulmonary disease. Pre-transplantation work-up included blood group typing and HLA DNA typing analyses. Peripheral blood and hair follicle specimens were used to confirm unusual tri-allelic results by high-resolution PCR-SBT. Cytogenetic analyses of karyotyping, FISH and chromosomal microarray were done. Flowcytometry crossmatch analysis was conducted using lymphocytes and anti-HLA sera defined by Luminex panel reactive antibody test (One Lambda, Inc., Canoga Park, CA), to determine antigen expression of HLA alleles.
RESULTS: 46,XX/46,XY chimerism was confirmed through series of cytogenetic analyses. HLA typing of the patient revealed three alleles from HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 loci. Antigen expression of all 3 HLA alleles was confirmed by flow cytometry crossmatch.
DISCUSSION: A case of normal phenotype 46,XX/46,XY chimerism was detected for the first time in Korean patient admitted for lung transplantation. Cytogenetic results were confirmatory for chimerism and HLA typing using PCR-SBT method was able to detect the presence of 3 HLA alleles. Flowcytometry crossmatch was proven sensitive for detecting antigen expression of different cell lines of small proportions.
