Accuracy of programs for the determination of HLA alleles from NGS data
2017-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes code for proteins that play a central role in the function of the immune system by presenting peptide antigens to T cells. As HLA genes show extremely high genetic polymorphism, HLA typing on the allele level is demanding and is based on DNA sequencing. Determination of HLA alleles is warranted as many HLA alleles are major genetic factors that confer susceptibility to autoi...
