To identify and characterize a novel HLA-B allele identified during high-throughput genomic typing.
Targeted next-generation sequencing was conducted to resolve full-length HLA gene sequences.
The newly detected sequence was aligned and compared directly to the reference allele HLA-B*57:01:01:01.
A novel allele officially designated as HLA-B*57:212 was identified.
The allele sequence differs from HLA-B*57:01:01:01 by a single nucleotide substitution localized within exon 5.
