PERSONAL COMPATIBILITY USING HLA

摘要

Processing personal compatibility matches includes a computer system receiving input of a first allele group determined to be present in a first person and a second allele group determined to be present in a second person. The first allele group and the second allele group are members of a set of allele groups for a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene. Each group of the set of allele groups is predefined to contain related alleles. By comparing the first allele group to the second allele group, a similarity of the first allele group to the second allele group may be determined. An indication of personal compatibility of the first person and the second person is inversely related to the determined similarity. The computer system can output the indication of personal compatibility to, for example, a matchmaker or a third-parting service.

主权项

1. A method of processing personal compatibility matches, the method comprising:
receiving input of a first allele group determined to be present in a first person and a second allele group determined to be present in a second person, the first allele group and the second allele group being members of a set of allele groups for a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene, each group of the set of allele groups being predefined to contain related alleles; comparing the first allele group to the second allele group to determine a similarity of the first allele group to the second allele group; and outputting an indication of personal compatibility of the first person and the second person, the indication of personal compatibility being inversely related to the similarity.
