Insights into the polymorphism in HLA‐DRA and its evolutionary relationship with HLA haplotypes

Abstract excerpt

HLA-DRA encodes the alpha chain of the HLA-DR protein, one of the classical HLA class II molecules. Reported polymorphism within HLA-DRA is currently limited compared with other HLA genes, as only a single polymorphism encodes an amino acid difference in the translated protein. Since this SNP (rs7192, HLA00662.1:g.4276G>T p.Val217Leu) lies within exon 4, in the region encoding the cytoplasmic tail, the resulting...
