Abstract excerpt
Typing of DQA1 by sequencing has been a challenge because of a 3-nucleotide deletion in exon 2 in half of the alleles. Furthermore, 19 of the 28 alleles cannot be identified on basis of exon 2 alone, but need additional exon information. With the sequencing strategy presented here the complete exons 1-4 are sequenced heterozygously, enabling identification of all DQA1 alleles by sequence-based typing (SBT). Exons...
