“…HLA-B15 is an MHC class I molecule encoded by multiple polymorphic alleles leading to at least 7 serological subtypes. 44 Variants have been described—with either tyrosine or serine at position 116—that greatly diverge in their interaction (either strong or weak, respectively) with other proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum for antigen presentation at the cell surface. 47 Accordingly, it might be expected that genetic diversity can contribute to increased or decreased predisposition to autoimmune diseases.…”

“…The latter has certain characteristics of the A9 (last part of introns 3, 5, and 7) and A2 family alleles (intron 6) (Figures 1 and 2). There are a lot of data supporting the idea that intron sequences give a more clear view of the evolutionary pathways of the HLA alleles generation than the exon sequences (22)(23)(24). These data confirm that intron sequences are coming from a recombination from to HLA-A ancestral sequences belonging to A2 and A3 families, respectively, followed by an evolutionary pressure mainly in exons 2 and 3 with point mutations, and other recombination events as cross-linking or gene conversion events with the surrounding alleles.…”

“…The number of identified HLA alleles has grown rapidly, and 9946 alleles for HLA loci have been identified according to the IMGT/HLA database release 3.14.0, including 3086 HLA‐B alleles . Most polymorphisms of HLA‐B locus are presented in the exons 2, 3 and 4, but in recent years some new HLA‐B alleles have been identified because of nucleotide changes in other exons and introns .…”
