A novel HLA-DRB1*13 allele (DRB1*1357) identified by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers and direct sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

We describe the identification of a new DRB1*13 allele, DRB1*1357*, found in two Austrian Caucasian individuals. The novel allele was initially suspected because analysis with sequence-specific primers resulted in an unusual pattern of amplification. Thereafter, exon 2 was further characterized by sequence-based typing. The nucleotide sequence of DRB1*1357 is identical to DRB1*1319 except for a single...
