Identify and characterize a novel HLA-DQB1 allele using next-generation sequencing.
Applied next-generation sequencing to characterize sequence variation in the HLA-DQB1 gene locus.
Identified the novel allele designated as HLA-DQB1*06:556.
Demonstrated that HLA-DQB1*06:556 differs from HLA-DQB1*06:03:01:01 by a single nucleotide substitution in exon 1 at codon -23 (CCC>GCC).

Implication

Genomic sequencing analysis reveals a novel HLA-DQB1*06:556 allele in human DNA, highlighting ongoing diversification within immune system genes.

Abstract

HLA-DQB1*06:556 differs from HLA-DQB1*06:03:01:01 by a single nucleotide substitution in exon 1 at codon -23 (CCC>GCC).
