When optimizing transplants, clinical decision-makers consider HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 (8 matched alleles out of 8), and sometimes HLA-DQB1 (10 out of 10) matching between the patient and donor. HLA-DQ is a heterodimer formed by the β chain product of HLA-DQB1 and an α chain product of HLA-DQA1. In addition to molecules defined by the parentally inherited cis haplotypes, α-β trans-dimerization is possible between...
