Abstract excerpt
A novel DQ6 allele (DQB1*0611) was identified via direct DNA sequencing in an African-American donor for bone marrow transplantation. The allele was not suspected on the basis of a sequence specific PCR assay which instead indicated the presence of DQB1*0602. DQB1*0602 and DQB1*0611 differ in exon 2 only at codon 9 resulting in a tyrosine substitution for phenylalanine. A modification of current DQB1 sequence...
