Characterisation of the Novel HLA‐DQA1*04:29 Allele in a Korean Individual by Next‐Generation Sequencing

Key Points

• The aim is to characterise the unique HLA-DQA1*04:29 allele in a Korean individual.
• Utilized next-generation sequencing for allele analysis
• Examined nucleotide sequences
• Focused on codon 208 in exon 4
• Identified a single nucleotide substitution in codon 208
• Confirmed HLA-DQA1*04:29 as distinct from HLA-DQA1*04:01:01:01
