Identification of the HLA-Cw*0774 and DQB1*060105 alleles

Abstract

Cw*0774 differs from Cw*070201 by one nucleotide within the coding sequence of exons 2-4. DQB1*060105 differs from DQB1*060101 by one nucleotide within the coding sequence of exons 2-3.

“…The accession number of each sequence is given and these can be used to retrieve the sequence files from the EMBL, GenBank, Vega or DDBJ data libraries. Although accession numbers (6) have been assigned by the data-libraries and most sequences are already available, there is still the possibility that an author may not yet have allowed the sequence to be released; in such a case you will have to contact the submitting author directly. Additional information pertaining to new sequences is often included in the publications describing these alleles; a listing of recent publications that describe new HLA sequences is given in Table 3.…”
