Abstract excerpt
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become fundamental to high-resolution HLA typing, but methodological differences between long-range PCR (LR PCR) and hybrid capture (HC) approaches can lead to discrepant results. This study examined cases where an allele identified as DPB1*13:01 by LR PCR was assigned DPB1*107:01 by HC. This discordance was attributed to both primer-site mutations and incomplete coverage of...
