A new HLA-B allele, B*49:34, sequenced in a Spanish individual

HLA-B*49:34 shows one nucleotide difference regarding B*49:01:01 at codon 66 (ATC>GTC, I66>V66).

Characterization of a novel HLA-DRB1 allele: DRB1*11:153

HLA-DRB1*11:153 differs from DRB1*11:131 by one nucleotide at position 286 where C > A, (codon 67 CTC>ATC), resulting in an amino acid substitution, 67L>67I.

Genomic sequence of HLA-B*41:43, a new HLA-B allele generated by an intralocus recombination mechanism

HLA‐B*41:43 has been generated by an intralocus recombination comprising B*41:02:01 and a B*14, 38, or 67 allele.

Sequencing of two novel HLA-A*29 alleles, A*29:39 and A*29:40

A*29:39 differs from A*29:02:01 by three clustered amino acid replacements at α1 domain, T73>I73, A76>V76 and N77>D77. A*29:40 shows one nucleotide difference regarding A*29:02:01 allele, resulting in one amino acid substitution at position 154, E154>G154.
