Identification of the Novel HLA‐B*42:38 Allele by Sequencing‐Based Typing

Key Points

• The aim is to identify and characterize the novel HLA-B*42:38 allele.
• Utilized sequencing-based typing to identify alleles
• Focused on nucleotide polymorphisms in exon 5
• Identified HLA-B*42:38 allele differing from HLA-B*42:02:01:02
• Characterization shows a single nucleotide polymorphism
