Characterization of three new HLA‐A*11 alleles in Russian individuals by next‐generation sequencing

Abstract

Three new HLA‐A*11:12:02, A*11:01:104 and A*11:355:02 alleles detected in Russian individuals.

Two novel HLA‐A alleles, HLA‐A*03:399 and ‐A*24:17:01:02, detected in inhabitants from the island of Crete

“…1 HLA-A*24:02 is frequently observed in the Chinese population with allele frequencies of 16.43%. 2 The HLA-A*24:233 allele was first published by our laboratory in 2013, 3 but only covered the sequence of exons 2, 3 and 4 at that time. Now we have obtained the 3010 bp fulllength genomic sequence of the HLA-A*24:233 allele using a full-length group-specific amplification and sequencing approach.…”

“…The names HLA-A*11:12:02, HLA-A*11:01:104 and HLA-A*11:355:02 has been officially assigned by the World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System in April 2020. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, 3 names will be assigned to new sequences as they are identified. Lists of such new names will be published in the following WHO Nomenclature Report.…”
