Identification of the novel HLA‐B*27:04:06 allele in a Chinese bone marrow donor

Abstract

HLA-B*27:04:06 differs from HLA-B*27:04:01 by a single-nucleotide substitution at position 396 C > A.

Characterization of the novel HLA‐A*31:01:34 allele by polymerase chain reaction sequencing‐based typing

“…According to the guidelines for HLA genotyping at the CMDP, the HLA genotype of the donors must be determined using molecular techniques. During this project, many HLA novel alleles have been identified in the Chinese donors 1‐3 . Here, we describe the novel allele, now named HLA‐A*31:01:34 , that was found in a CMDP donor.…”
