The DRB4 gene encoding the DR53 antigen is present in DRB1*04-, DRB1*07- and DRB1*09-positive individuals. Eight allelic variants of DRB4 have been recognized, 5 resulting in an expressed DR53 antigen and 3 belonging to the null alleles. So far the DRB4*0103102N null allele had been found exclusively in individuals carrying the haplotype DR7,-DQ9. High-resolution typing of HLA class II by polymerase chain...
