Abstract excerpt
Sequence variations outside exons 2 and 3 do not appear to affect the function of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I alleles. HLA-B*44:02:01:01 and -B*44:27 are considered functionally identical because they differ by a single amino acid substitution of Val > Ala at position 199, which is located in the α3 domain. To validate that HLA-B*44:02:01:01 and -B*44:27 represent functionally identical alleles that...
