Description of a new HLA-DRB1 allele, DRB1*1139.

Abstract excerpt

We report the identification of a novel DRB1*11 using sequence-based typing. This new allele, officially named DRB1*1139, was detected while performing HLA-DRB1 high-resolution typing of a volunteer bone marrow donor. DRB1*1139 is identical to DRB1*11011 except at codon 51 (ACG-->AGG) changing the encoded Threonine to Arginine. The triplet AGG has never been found in any other DRB1 allele. In fact, with standard...
