Allele frequencies and haplotype frequencies of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, and -DPB1 have been rarely reported in South Koreans using unambiguous, phase-resolved next generation DNA sequencing. In this study, HLA typing of 11 loci in 173 healthy South Koreans were performed using next generation DNA sequencing with long-range PCR, TruSight ®  HLA v2 kit, Illumina MiSeqDx platform system, and Assign ™  for TruSight ™  HLA software. Haplotype frequencies were calculated using the PyPop software. Direct counting methods were used to investigate the association with DRB1 for samples with only one copy of a particular secondary DRB locus. We compared these allele types with the ambiguous allele combinations of the IPD-IMGT/HLA database. We identified 20, 40, 26, 31, 19, 16, 4, and 16 alleles of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1, and HLA-DPB1, respectively. The number of HLA-DRB3/4/5 alleles was 4, 5, and 3, respectively. The haplotype frequencies of most common haplotypes were as follows: A*33:03:01-B*44:03:01-C*14:03-DRB1*13:02:01-DQB1*06:04:01-DPB1*04:01:01 (2.89%), A*33:03:01-B*44:03:01-C*14:03 (4.91%), DRB1*08:03:02-DQA1*01:03:01-DQB1*06:01:01-DPA1*02:02:02-DPB1*05:01:01 (5.41%), DRB1*04:05:01-DRB4*01:03:01 (12.72%), DQA1*01:03:01-DQB1*06:01:01 (13.01%), and DPA1*02:02:02-DPB1*05:01:01 (30.83%). In samples with only one copy of a specific secondary DRB locus, we examined its association with DRB1. We, thus, resolved 10 allele ambiguities in HLA-B, -C (each exon 2+3), -DRB1, -DQB1, -DQA1, and -DPB1 (each exon 2) of the IPD-IMGT/HLA database. Korean population was geographically close to Japanese and Han Chinese populations in the genetic distances by multidimensional scaling (MDS) plots. The information obtained by HLA typing of the 11 extended loci by next generation sequencing may be useful for more exact diagnostic tests on various transplantations and the genetic population relationship studies in South Koreans.
