The novel HLA‐B*39:199 allele identified in a candidate bone marrow donor

“…The name B*39:199 has been officially assigned by the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System in June 2023. 2 This follows the agreed policy that, subject to conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, names will be assigned to new sequences as they are identified. 3 The discovery of this new allele contributes to the understanding of HLA diversity and its implications in organ and stem cell/bone marrow transplantation.…”

Characterization of novel HLA‐A*24:608N allele discovered in Koreans

“…The objective of this study was to determine the molecular and functional characteristics of a novel null HLA-A allele, HLA-A*24:608N (accession number LC715480) 4 which was recently identified in five Korean individuals. The novel allele had approximately 12 k base pairs deletion from intron 3 to 3 0 end of the HLA-A gene.…”
