A new human leukocyte antigen class I allele, HLA- B*52:11 / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify and confirm a novel HLA allele.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A new human leukocyte antigen class I allele was found during routine HLA genotyping by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) and sequencing-based typing (SBT).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The novel HLA-B*52 allele was identical to B*520101 with an exception of one base substitution at position 583 of exon 3 where a C was changed to T resulting in codon 195 changed from CAC(H) to TAC(Y).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A new HLA class I allele, B*5211, is identified, and is named officially by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.</p>
