Population-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype frequencies are an essential basis of advanced algorithms for donor selection in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In 2016, we introduced Hapl-o-Mat, a versatile tool for haplotype frequency estimation based on an expectation-maximization algorithm (https://github.com/DKMS/hapl-o-Mat). Hapl-o-Mat is specifically tailored to the analysis of HLA genes and able to cope with the heterogeneous genotyping data usually found in donor registries. To make Hapl-o-Mat accessible to a wider range of users, we designed a graphical user interface module that considerably facilitates the interaction with the application (https://github.com/DKMS/hapl-o-Mat_GUI). We further provide a precompiled version of Hapl-o-Mat that can be used on Windows personal computers without dependency on additional software libraries (https://github.com/DKMS/hapl-o-Mat_WinBin). We are confident that these new, user-oriented features will encourage more researchers to apply Hapl-o-Mat to their data, thereby increasing knowledge and public availability of population-specific HLA haplotype frequencies.

D006239 Haplotypes The genetic constitution of individuals with respect to one member of a pair of allelic genes, or sets of genes that are closely linked and tend to be inherited together such as those of the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX. Haplotype
D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
