Abstract:Forty novel HLA class I and class II alleles were identified in umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples and categorized based on various types of mutations: non‐synonymous, synonymous, frameshift, and premature termination codon. This study described 14 novel HLA‐A alleles, 9 novel HLA‐B alleles, 4 novel HLA‐C alleles, 3 novel HLA‐DRB1 alleles and 10 novel HLA‐DQB1 alleles. Comparing the new allele sequence with the most homologous sequence, 60% of the novel alleles exhibited non‐synonymous substitution, 32.5% obse… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
