Abstract excerpt
Non-classical HLA Class I genes (HLA-E, -F, -G, -H) and MHC-related genes (MICA, MICB) regulate NK cell function and immune tolerance, yet their allelic diversity remains underexplored. Using capture-enriched full-gene sequencing of 943 healthy US transplant donors, we identified 26 novel alleles across HLA-E (2), HLA-F (6), HLA-G (4), HLA-H (5), MICA (3), and MICB (6). Each novel allele was identified in a...
