Full length sequence of a novel HLA-B*3818 allele differs from HLA-B*380201 allele in exon 4 and intron 5.

The full length sequence of HLA-B*3818 differs from HLA-B*380201 at nt 660 in exon 4 (C-->A) and genomic position 2133 in intron 5 (A-->C).

Identification of a novel HLA-A*02 allele, HLA-A*02:432, in a Chinese individual.

A*02:432 differs from A*02:07:01 by one nucleotide change at nucleotide 572 in exon 3 from G to C.A*02:432 differs from A*02:07:01 by one nucleotide change at nucleotide 572 in exon 3 from G to C.

A novel HLA-B*37 allele, B*370105, was identified in a Chinese Han individual

We report here the sequence of a novel human leukocyte antigen B*37 allele, B*370105, which is identical to B*370101 except for a single nucleotide substitution in exon 3 at nucleotide 558 where C>A, codon 162 GGC>GGA, no coding change.

A novel HLA-DRB1 allele, DRB1*112802, was identified in a Chinese individual

We report here a novel human leukocyte antigen-DRB1 allele, DRB1*112802, which was identified from a Chinese individual during sequence-based typing. The new allele is identical to DRB1*112801 except for one nucleotide change at nucleotide 189 (A --> G ), codon 34 Q (CAA) --> Q (CAG), no coding change.

A novel HLA‐Cw*0124 allele found in a Chinese Han patient from Southern China

The sequence of novel HLA-Cw*0124 allele differs from Cw*0103 by one nucleotide change at nt 806 from C to A, resulting in an amino acid change at codon 245 from Ala to Glu.

Genomic sequence of HLA-Cw*1222 allele identified in a Chinese Han patient from Southern China

The genomic sequence of HLA-Cw*1222 allele is identical to Cw*120202 except for a single-nucleotide substitution at codon 87 (CAG-->CGG) resulting in an amino acid change from Gln to Arg.

Full length sequence of the HLA‐Cw*0361 allele identified in a Chinese Han potential bone marrow donor from Northern China

HLA-Cw*0361 allele differs from Cw*030301 by one nucleotide substitution at nt 566 from T to A, resulting in an amino acid change at codon 165 from Val to Glu.

HLA‐A*3318, a novel allele, identified by sequence‐based typing in a Chinese individual

We report a novel human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A allele, officially named as A*3318, which was found during high-resolution sequence-based typing in a Chinese potential hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor. Compared with the HLA-A*330301 sequence, the A*3318 has one nucleotide substitution in exon 3: at nt 413 where A-->G resulting in an amino acid substitution from Q (CAG) to R (CGG) at codon 114.

HLA-B*152703, a novel allele, which has arisen by silent mutation in codon 138

A novel human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) allele, officially named B*152703, was found during routine high-resolution sequence-based typing in a Chinese potential hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor. Compared with the HLA-B*152701 sequence, the B*152703 has a silent substitution at position 486(G-->C) in exon 3.

A frame shift due to a two‐nucleotide deletion results in an HLA‐B null allele, B*9549N

This report describes the identification of a new human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I null allele, B*9549N, resulting from a premature stop codon in exon 3.
