The Novel HLA‐A*02:1139 Allele, Identified by Sanger Dideoxy Nucleotide Sequencing in a Chinese Individual

Key Points

• To identify and characterize the novel HLA-A*02:1139 allele found in a Chinese individual.
• Utilized Sanger dideoxy nucleotide sequencing to analyze genetic material.
• Focused on identifying differences within specific alleles of HLA genes.
• HLA-A*02:1139 allele differs from HLA-A*02:06:01:01 by a single nucleotide change.
• This change is a non-synonymous mutation identified in exon 1.
