This research identifies a new allele, HLA-DPA1*02:167, in a genetic analysis, suggesting potential implications for genetic variation.

The aim is to identify novel alleles within the HLA-DPA1 gene using advanced sequencing techniques.
Utilized PacBio sequencing technology.
Compared the new allele with the existing HLA-DPA1*02:10 allele.
Focused on non-synonymous nucleotide substitutions in exon 3.
Discovered HLA-DPA1*02:167 allele differing from HLA-DPA1*02:10 by one nucleotide substitution.
Identified the specific change occurring at codon 96.

Gong et al. (2026) studied this question.
