The Novel HLA‐DRB1*09:01:13 Allele, Identified by Sanger Dideoxy Nucleotide Sequencing in a Chinese Individual

Key Points

• This research aims to identify and characterize a novel HLA-DRB1 allele in a specific individual.
• Sanger dideoxy nucleotide sequencing performed on genomic DNA.
• Comparison between the identified allele and existing HLA alleles.
• Discovered HLA-DRB1*09:01:13 allele.
• Identified a single synonymous nucleotide change in exon 2 compared to HLA-DRB1*09:01:02:01.
